I backup my data as follows: Daily tar to floppy for important configuration files 2 to 3 times a week tar to tape for full (trying excluding some unneeded things) Once a week dump to tape. I did both tar and dump partly as an exercise to learn them both. What I would like to know is which is best to recover completely from a crash? What I am looking for is a way to bring back a "minimal" Freebsd box and use the tape to bring me back to the last backup state. Any good commercial/free/shareware software that would create a boot floppy as to not even need to install a minimal freebsd to restore?
