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;
3) tar --one-file-system -cvjf /mnt/backup.tbz ./ var usr home
Though I prefer personally to use dump/restore because:

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
5) exit (reboot from single us

# cd /
# tar -cvf backup.tar {list of directories}

on 'tar
