I notice I can get to /pat= h/to/jail/path/to/htdocs, so can I similarly just copy the appropriate file= s/directories for backup purposes? Or is there something magical about bein= g "inside" the jail that makes this difficult or improper? Your base environment will be able to access the contents of all of your jails no problem. Shouldn't be any problems making backups. The only possible problem I can think of that you might run into is if you have UIDs in the jail(8) that don't exist in the base system, but you'ld have to choose a pretty incompetent backup system if it couldn't cope with that.
