The short answer is to backup the files you want to save. As a general
rule, I suggest backing up:
/etc
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/www
The last one assumes you have some website(s).
If you are also worried about email, if you are using the standard
sendmail, also backup:
/var/mail
I would suggest you create separate compressed tar volumes for your
backups, then you can restore them individually if you need to.

I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on a home machine and backing up to a DVD Burner,
probably using kdar, the dar archiver that comes with KDE.
My question is : which system files to back up, along with my personal stuff?
I'm used to using linux distributions that do your system backups for you.
The capacity of the DVDs sets a practical limit on what I can reasonably back
up, so I need to pick and choose, basically to make recovery easier should
everything go south. Thanks!
