Restore maybe, but dump expects to read the filesystem directly
AFAIK -- that's why we need a different version to handle ext2fs
than for ufs.  I've always run dump on the machine where the disk
being backed up actually is, and preferably with the filesystem
unmounted and/or the machine in single-user mode.  The output can,
of course, be sent elsewhere via rmt, ssh, etc.
