Hello Tim.
Could someone please provide a tip on how I can go about backing up the FreeBSD

Ok you are right...

Thoughts on this would be appreciated...
dump/restore is the standard safe way; you can send it over ssh to back

You can create snapshots with UFS too. It's a good way of getting a

Just use shutdown

Nice answer by Sergio, but I personally would use the j option with tar
to compress to bzip2;

you can migrate to zfs and then create snapshot of whole disk, import
this snapshot (e.g. via ssh) and then restore it back.
Good luck.

I am very happy with the folowing
Supose that you have mount ANOTHER device on /mnt
1) mount /dev/ /mnt
2) init 1 (this closes all applications and drop into single user)
3) tar --one-file-system -cvzf /mnt/backup.tar.gz ./ var usr home
4) umount /mnt

I have a 3-Tbyte server
Is there any possibility of using your own media locally - such as
tape or a large USB attached disk?If security is such a primary
concern, I can't see sending the data to that type of offsite thing.
Get a couple of large USB SATAs and use dump(8) to back the stuff up
on them.Write them

If you are going to go the rsync route, I recommend you
Hello,
If you have a spare machine with the diskspace neeeded then you might
want to consider rsync over ssh. Rsync can do incremental backups, which
can be nice and timesaving.
There's plenty to read about it if you Google for "Freebsd backing up
rsync ssh ports".

It depends a little on what media you have availab
As with what he said. :) Dump and Restore are your friends.
Also, in a crunch:
tar -z -c -f /path/to/your/backup.tar.gz /filesystem
Do that once for each mounted filesystem, and make sure backup.tar.gz
lives on another system, perhaps on an nfs mount.
