I am a long time FreeBSD user and have been using dump/restore for many years for disk to disk backups.

Now I am getting more and more into FC4 and CentOS, but am I stuck on only using tar/star for backups?

I'm using dump/restore on CentOS.

AFAIK, it is the best "backup software" avaliable.

I agree. I install an extra disk and do a disk to disk dump. Periodically, I compress/download the dumps and store them offsite. I "discovered" dump back in the BSDI 1.0 days (my God...15 years ago...hehe) and haven't felt like I needed anything more complex since then. It just plain works.
