I've inherited a FreeBSD system (uname says: 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE #0:). I have quite a bit of experience with Linux, but not much with FreeBSD. I am impressed at this point because this box is the most stable of our underpowered boxes, but I am quite unclear on syhstem particulars. My main worries right now are: disaster recovery and upgrading to a more recent version. This box does heavy duty service as a web server with a mix of static and slash sites and a mail system (using PostFix) not to mention backup DNS. Because there is so much stuff going on, some of which I am probably unaware of, my normal upgrade procedure of wipe, install new OS, and reinstall sites and apps isn't possible. Should I worry about upgrading? Any advice about disaster recovery routines? c -- Chris Lott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
