Is there a reason you require use of dump(8) over, say, rsync/rsnapshot
or similar tools?

As far as disabling the journalling aspect of SU+J on-the-fly (meaning
on a mounted filesystem), I don't think this is possible, but I will
state boldly up front I have not messed around with 9.0 at all aside
from tinkering about in the installer.
