My criteria for procedures are:
1. They should minimize the need for additional software beyond the base
system as much as reasonably possible. This means not only that I do not
good idea.
3. They should provide for incremental backups.
do backed up laptops use FreeBSD or have another filesystem.
4. They should provide for the ability to quickly and easily test backup
integrity without restoring the backups anywhere, which most likely means
some kind of checksum comparisons akin to what rsync provides.
5. They should allow for transferring data from the system to be backed
up to the backup server via SSH.
there is precisely one tool you need.
/usr/ports/net/rsync
there is many "distros" of rsync for windoze if laptops run it. Not sure
what actually works but i can check if you wish.
i use rsync for backup server, just config is different: my server is
behind NAT, and it connects to backed up server with rsync
man rsync and read carefully, don't forget -b option it's very useful
