I don't even make a backup of the entire system.  I just backup the
contents of the /home and /http and /ftp.  Personally I wouldn't want to
backup the entire system.  I can install FreeBSD and make the config file
changes and have it back to the way it was in no time.  Then I just copy
back the stuff on the CD-RW and it's fine.  No need really to have the
source and ports from /usr or anything.
