Another way is to install a backup device in the FreeBSD box and use its native utilities dump and restore. Another way is a more global backup solution. You could install a backup host using amanda and backup your entire network using the backup host. (The backup host could be your current FreeBSD box or another unix-like box.) "Unix Backup & Recovery" is a good book if you need ideas. I recommend purchasing it. Thank you, Jason C.
