You can setup BudTool to do backups of FreeBSD and Linux systems, but
you won't have any file history. Here is our entry in .budcl for Linux:
<CLASS "dump.Linux"
ACTIVE TRUE
BACKUP "/sbin/dump ${BT_REQ_LEVEL}bfu 128 - ${filesystem}"
TOC ""
RTRV "/sbin/restore xf - ${BT_EXTRACT_FILELIST}"
DAR ""
BUFILT "dump"
LEVELS 9
SPLIT NO
<CLASS-FIELD "filesystem"
LABEL "File System:"
HELP "budtool:dumpfilesystem"

For FreeBSD just change the paths to dump and restore and you should be fine.
But if possible I'd recommend using Amanda instead. I've used BudTool
in the past but at a new installation we are using Amanda
(http://www.amanda.org) instead. Amanda will get you file histories
for your Linux and FreeBSD boxes while BudTool won't. (I've been
beating on them for this for years.)
