Welcome mate.

About Your backup ...

Use dump/restore if You will restore to UFS pratitions, if you want to transition to ZFS, then stop all services and run tar(1) on whole / there is no need to run it on separate partitions.

Whichever sollution You will chose remember to stop all unneeded services during backup, including syslogd/moused/cron/...

If I would be You, I would backup all needed configuration files (ls -ltr or find and then sort by modify date can be helpful in searching for them).

The do a clean install on ZFS, restore configuration, add needed packages and so.
