Not for day-to-day operation, I have a volume on our servers that was
somewhere between 10 and 20 MB last time I checked. However, the Coda
backups do have some problems with them since a volume is dumped as a
single large image.

So the filesystem to which the backup file is dumped needs to support
large files, the kernel has to support it, and I believe it only works
when the volutil dump output is sent through a pipe (i.e. volutil dump
<volume> | cat > dumpfile, instead of volutil dump <volume> dumpfile).
