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!

In addition to the:

        /etc
        /usr/local/etc
        /home
        /var/db

that others posted, I find the following useful too:

        /usr/src/sys/i386/conf          <- kernel configs    
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm          <- I customize xdm on occasion
        /boot/device.hints
        /boot/loader.conf
