'dump' is probably the most appropriate tool to capture an ext4 volume

long as you capture all the extended (selinux) attributes, which I
don't believe were described in the other post. dump/restore will
only copy the data (and not unused blocks) and it reads the filesystem
directly rather than going through the VFS layer.
I have never used dumpe2fs.
How does it compare to partclone ?
