Monitoring changes: OpenBSD checks every day the system and generate a diff e.g. of the /etc folder and send an email to the root account. You can forward this email to your account if you want. Changes in the system will backuped in /var/backups by default. Backup your System (backup of big systems is not easy): dump and restore are a possible solution. I use bacula, an distributed backup tool. It can be a little bit complex for one pc system.
