How to backup my system
Hi all,
I have this 80G machine here which I want to turn into a dualboot with 40G each, Win and FBSD. As it seems impossible to just resize the slices and partitions, I guess the best way is to copy my current system to a backup-server in the network, repartition the disk and copy my old BSD system back. What do you think and what's the best way to do accomplish this? TIA |

dump -0Lauf - /dev/SLICE | bzip2 /backup/file.bz2
Then copy over net with scp or samba or whatever.... later, on newly formated UFS slice copy to some place where you have free space (lets say /dir mount /dev/SLICE /some/mountpoin cd /some/mountpoint bzcat /dir/file.bz2 | restore -rf - cd / umount /some/mountpoint and that's it, basically if yo don't want to compress data, remove bzip2 and bzcat part and replace - with /dev/SLICE |

read restore manpage you don't need to extract all files.... Only thing for this you will need to use decompressed backup |
