Backing up FREEBSD

[Roger Olofsson]

Hello,

If you have a spare machine with the diskspace neeeded then you might 
want to consider rsync over ssh. Rsync can do incremental backups, which 
can be nice and timesaving.

There's plenty to read about it if you Google for "Freebsd backing up 
rsync ssh ports".
