Hi I'm very new to FreeBSD. Anyone know how I would go about doing a full system backup of FreeBSD that I could keep to boot from and restore my system in case my install gets corrupted?
I have been looking for what utilities to use and the steps to use them to create an exact replica of my FreeBSD system in case I need to restore to new hardware.
I have the "data" backed up already by other means, but I would like to know if there is a way to create an image of the current system that could be restore in the event of a disaster.
Disk space is not a concern, I have terabytes of disk space.
I live in an areas where we have fairly frequent violent lightning storms and our electricity goes out. I do have UPS power backups. But want to make sure if something bad happens I can restore to new hardware very quickly without having to re-install FreeBSD again.
In windows this is very, very easy. In Linux Ubuntu this is very, very easy. Seems to be very limited info on how to do this for FreeBSD.
