My current backup strategy is to upload some stuff on my shell accounts and copy other stuff on my external Firwire Harddisk.
\nToday I tried to do a backup from my Epia system, which has no firewire, so i connected the harddisk via USB. Did you remember that USB in FreeBSD sucks? Of course hotplugging didn’t work and results in bazillion messages on the console: <\/p>\n
and hanging of every disk access. After the reboot the disk worked, I was able to dump the \/ filesystem. But when i tried to dump the \/usr filesystem the box paniced.

Or should I just use rsync to copy stuff from the Hard Disk to another machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
