Keywords: dumping by "path" instead of by file systems

I am looking for a "flavor" of dump(8) that will accept an
arbitrary path name and dump from there, as opposed always
having to dump an entire file system. Preferrably it might
have an interactive mode just like restore does. It would
let you browse the directory hierarchy and "add" directories
or file for dumping similiar to restoring files in the inter-
active mode.

Has anyone ever done this kind of thing before? If I get no
replies, I plan to embark on this myself, and will post to
the net when I complete it (if anyone is interested). Thanks
for any help in this inquiry.

My environment is BSD Unix with VAXen and Sun's.
