I downloaded the "alternative testing" ubuntu-based version of Clonezilla, and it appeared to backup my FreeBSD machine. It identified my filesystem as UFS. I will wipe the drive and try a restore later tonight. It said it was backing up 30GB of files, which seemed odd for a fresh install. The backup was 7.5GB. There is a lot of good info in this thread, so I will be experimenting with the various methods discussed. It sounds like I really need to learn about dump/restore.
Pardon if I've mentioned this already, but I have an article called "Backup Options For FreeBSD" at http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/backup.html
It covers variations of dump/restore, and also mentions Clonezilla and dd and their advantages and disadvantages. Feedback welcome.
