Do you have a recommendation you like to replace dump/restore? I don't know your specific requirements, but I use BorgBackup (dnf install borgbackup). It's widely used, actively maintained, has deduplication, encryption and compression features, can manage local and remote backups, has hooks for special cases such as databases. I run it from a nightly script which is actually a separate package called borgmatic. The config file can be somewhat quirky but once configured you can basically forget about it.
