[compiling installing FreeBSD]
dear freeBSD's gurus, question is: does make installworld do any backup of the files it touch? is any way to failback that installworld? I think I have read that make installkernel do a backup of the kernel in kernel.old but for the world I would like to know.

No. Restore from (your own) backups, installation media, or rebuild the world you need from appropriately-dated sources. I think I have read that make installkernel do a backup of the kernel in kernel.old but for the world I would like to know. That is correct, but it is only the kernel (and modules) that are backed up this way.

Have you read the section of the handbook which explains the accepted procedure for updating the system?
