xfsdump is a tool in the tradition of unix filesystem dump utilities.
Those always dump a full filesystem, and consequently, fully restore
filesystems only.

Using a linux derivate, there are plenty of more or less creative options to
selectively backup/restore arbitrary file systems, but this is rather OT for
the ML.
Here are some of my favorite tools:
rsync for ad hoc operations,
rsnapshot for regular file based backups,
borg for deduplicated backups (e.g. VM images).
They all perform nicely over LAN as well.
If you seek professional support in this regard, send an PM.
Cheers,
Pete
