| Backup *everything*, edit the disklabel to move around the space between

Here is my disklabel layout :
16 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:   307377       63    4.2BSD     2048 16384   304   # (Cyl.
0*- 304)
  b:   196560   307440      swap                        # (Cyl.  305
- 499)
  c:  4233600        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0
- 4199)
  d:   245952   504000    4.2BSD     2048 16384   244   # (Cyl.  500
- 743)
  e:   614880   749952    4.2BSD     2048 16384   328   # (Cyl.  744
- 1353)
  f:  2868768  1364832    4.2BSD     2048 16384   328   # (Cyl. 1354
- 4199)

So f seems the last one (/usr).
And if i leave /var as it is, only /usr must be reduced.
But /usr has to be unmounted to make a backup, do it ?
That case can't get the system running.

Thanks for your time
