I am very happy with the folowing.... Supose that you have mount ANOTHER device on /mnt.... 1) mount /dev/xxxx /mnt 2) init 1 (this closes all applications and drop into single user) 3) tar --one-file-system -cvzf /mnt/backup.tar.gz ./ var usr home 4) umount /mnt 5) exit (reboot from single user to normal operation) =================================== on restore....... supose you install a FBSD minimal from the CD/usb..... 1) mount /dev/xxxx /mnt 2) tar -xpvf /mnt/backup.tar.gz -C / ........................ 3) umount /mnt ===========you have restored your system============= may be some files (sockets...) are not restored but no problem as they will be created by the time your system boots on.
