Maybe not to change with this commit, but the wording feels very 1990s. Talking about backups might be more friendly.

Would this make more sense between buildkernel and installkernel? If you do it too early you may break your system if a reboot happens before you finish the other steps.

That's a great idea, thank you! I didn't notice because I put them in src.conf.

A level 0 dump is like dd. It gets absolutely everything, unlike a boot environment. I'll work on that after I merge this one.

FWIW, it's a reference to dump -0.
