Under Linux I just tar everything and place them on DVD. If something

Can I do the same in FreeBSD? If so, how would I do this?
Don't see why you couldn't do the same. However, a gander at the Handbook shows that dump(8) is recommended over tar(1); I'm trying to migrate to dump from tar, myself.
IIRC, there's a comprehensive backup plan written, down to the letter, in the appropriate Handbook section.
Also, if you're running 5.3 now, note that tar is now bsdtar(1) instead of the GNU tar (which is now gtar(1)) ...
