If so I would upgrade to 8.2 as stated in a previous posting but since I'm running jails and many services aggregated into one machine, what's the best way to proceed? I'm currently just backing up /etc, /var, /usr/shared, /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/var, and /usr/local/shared. Will the freebsd-upgrade tool wipe all my config files? Or will the upgrade be seamless?
