Another dump\Backup Question

Hello,

On Sun Systems I use ufsdump and ufsrestore. dump/restore seems to be the Redhat LINUX equiv. In testing I found I can easily send dump to a tape device on another host (dump -0u -f myhost:/dev/rmt/0 /). I require this.

Problem:
I thought I saw a thread saying dump is not good to use dump for LINUX backups as files can become currupt between kernal versions. I am seeking a simple backup/restore solution for all my RH Linux systems. I may need to restore to different systems or kernal versions.

Is there a better choice?

Thanks,

Michael42
