<div>>My BSD hard drive acted up this weekend. At first it

<div>How hot was it? You want want to get another drive.</div>
<br>
<div>>So, what about backups? Reinstalling BSD and all my work

<div>>new hard drive, should the old one die, does not bother me,
but </div>
<div>>what about config/passwd etc. files. I copied
master.passwd, and </div>
<div>>xinitrc to another HD to ease a reinstallation. What other
similar </div>
<div>>files should I backup?</div>
<br>
<div>I normally back up /etc, /usr/local/bin, /home and a few directories
in my X11R6 tree.</div>
