Does there exist any utility that runs under FreeBSD and can read and write directly to disk partitions, regardless of the format? For example, if I had a NTFS partition and another Linux ext2fs partition, is it possible to use a FreeBSD utility to dump both of those partitions to a file, then if needed later, restore them back to the original partition? I don't expect to be able to read the individual files on those partitions, of course, but I would like to be able to dump and restore the entire partition from FreeBSD if at all possible.
