I've been reading this thread for a while. This is how I do it. 

First I create a list of my sites. I then loop through the list and create an individual cmu export of each 
site on the box. I then create a dated tar/gzip archieve the cmu export and push it off to my backup 
server. 

This makes it easy to move/restore an indiviual site and leaves me with very small cmu exports. It also 
avoids a lot of the issues assosiated with large dumps.

Have fun,
