What is the best way to back up an msdos partition (FStype msdos) on my FreeBSD 4.7 system?
Well, FreeBSD is quite happy handling MS-DOS partitions, so there is no reason you shouldn't use tar, together with whatever compression you like. For example, I have backed up vfat partitions simply by mounting them, changing to the root of them and doing tar cvjf /odds/system-vfat.tar.bz2 ., /odds being a filesystem with lots of space, then worked out a way to get that file onto a CD, or using cdbackup, multiple CDs.
That's it. Worked like a charm. Thanks to all who responded.
