Hi Oliver,
At a minimum, you will probably want to back up the following directories:
/etc
/usr/local/etc
/home
That will get all of the configuration files for FreeBSD and the
software thar you installed from ports.
Actually, no. If you want to backup the software installed from
ports you will typically need /usr/local.
The contents of /var/db would also be desirable so that you know
which ports are installed on the machine among other things.

The last directory will det all of your user's data. Some other
applications might put data in other places, however, so you might
want to research the applications that you are running to make sure
you don't miss any important data.
