I have tested using dump in single user mode and normal mode for an online Web server. Both have worked great. But I am worried if I try to dump on a busy server that I will be more likely to have bad data or corrupted files. Therefore, I have decided to do this using the Fixit cd (cd II) and take the server off line for 20 min for a safe backup. And use the cron dumps for weekly backups.
