Hello, I'm asking for current recommendations on how to backup my complete system (OS and all installed ports and user directories) now that i've spent quite a bit of time getting it right. i'd hate to have to reinstall everything again in the event of a drive failure. Here is my allocation: > df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s2a 5948558 3071326 2401348 56% / /dev/ad0s2d 23498930 1377932 20241084 6% /home Questions: 1) Should I purchase an inexpensive drive and clone the filesystems ? If so, what is the best way to do this. Drives are inexpensive and I 20G backup drive would be fairly cheap. 2) I'm installing a DVD drive - I suppose I could make DVD backups across multiple CD's. 3) any sugs ?
