I'm thinking of backing up my FreeBSD 6.2 webmail server by installing
FreeBSD onto the USB, and then dumping the whole filesystem onto the

good idea. man rsync :)
I was thinking about just dump, as I'm more familiar with it, but
I'll check out rsync if you think it's better for this purpose.
Has anyone else done this? I haven't found any mention via Google,
i'm doing this with my notebook.
Great. What kind of drive? And have you actually
had to do a restore?
