UFS filesystem - backup software

P

Hi,

I'm reading here that PartImage handles a UFS filesystem. I haven't completed the install yet so, some questions. Is PartImage available in the repo, anything else as good or better than that in the repo? I use fsarchiver for regular Linux, hope there is something as good or better for FreeBSD.

I back up all the partitions every month.

THX.
 
IMO dump(8) is _the_ backup program for UFS. I especially like its ability to span multiple tapes, and the -L option for safely dumping live filesystems. When recommending dump people often refer to a document called "Torture-testing Backup and Archive Programs: Things You Ought to Know But Probably Would Rather Not" by Elizabeth D. Zwicky. But I'm not going to provide a link for it, because I just realized that it was written more than 20 years ago.
