As the chflags(1) man page states, the opposite of 'nodump' is 'dump':

     Putting the letters ``no'' before or removing the letters ``no'' from a
     keyword causes the flag to be cleared.  For example:

           nouchg  clear the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
           dump    clear the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)

Or, if you want to clear all flags from a file you can:

    % chflags 0 file

	Cheers,

	Matthew
