Here is my problem.  I am running 2.2.1-RELEASE and need a way of
backing up my FreeBSD box.  I don't have any backup solution hardware
on the box itself, however i have installed samba.  Of course programs
like winzip, etc. don't back up the file attributes that it zips.  --
Is there another way?  Or am I stuck with trying to zip the entire
system from FreeBSD and then saving out on my NT server?  Someone
mentioned a backup program for FreeBSD.. I can't recall if it was a
FreeBSD ran program or otherwise.

Thanks for any help.
