I am currently using rsnapshot to back up these directories on a FreeBSD 7.2 webserver:

/etc
/usr/home
/usr/local
/var/cron

These directories contain all the data and config files that I use... I think...

Question: am I missing anything crucial?

Thanks: John

Hi!
As I think you should backup /var/db/ports and /var/db/packages in case your machine crashes and you might have /usr/local on an extra partition. Then you can easily make a new installation without reinstalling the whole stuff under /usr/local. The named directories contain information about the installed ports/packages and are needed to recover a crashed system.

Greetings Frank
