"rndc dumpdb -zones" might work for you? I have no idea where that file 
will end up on your setup though.

Another option: If the zone transfer isn't available as an option, and you 
don't have a slave DNS to copy it from either.. I haven't tried this, so I 
can't guarantee it will work, but it might work changing the named.conf to 
allow zone transfers, then do a "rndc reconfig"? No guarantees that it will 
work as expected though :D
