Unfortunately, I've had some trouble with xfsdump/xfsrestore in the
past. Using a xfsdump -l0 ... | xfsrestore ... worker, but a second
xfsdump -l1 ... | xfsrestor failed in xfsrestore. So I'd advise you to
make a few confirmation tests before going into production.

FYI, the error I encountered was:
xfsrestore: node.c:669: node_map: Assertion `nodegen ==
hdlgen' failed.
Didn't manage to find a working solution (and ended up with rsync).
