DUMP script ..

Hello all ..

I'm looking for a script that will utilize the DUMP command and can
completly back up a CentOS system in the event of a hard drive failure
using the restore command. This dump will not be done to tape, but to
another hard drive in the box. I will then have the dump archive moved
to a samba share where it will be backed up.

I can do all of this with the execption of the the DUMP script. :-P
figured i'd add some humor to the post .. But .. there are many scripts
on the net all over the place. But I think this would work,
http://dinsen.net/netbsd/dump but will this dump script recover my
system completly in the event of a hard drive failure?

I found one Gentoo script, but its very aimed toward Gentoo and Gentoo
is very different then other linux systems so I decided not to try it:
http://blinkeye.ch/mediawiki/index.php/GNU/Linux_System_Backup_Script_%28stage4%29

I just need a script that can basically backup a whole system and can
be restored just as easilly. The system is up and running as I said its
CentOS and its running at full opertation and live.

Any help is appreciated.
