I've never had any problems, even the few times that power did go out.

Since you're asking this question of newbies, instead of asking experts 
or  hiring a consultant, and considering that power outages are an 
issue, I'd hazard a guess that you're interested in FreeBSD for a 
desktop or a personal server. Am I right?

p.s. Backup, backup, backup. Even large multinational banks with ultra 
highend enterprise class filesystems on their currency exchange 
transaction servers make backups. And buy a UPS :-)
