If I have directadmin installed on a FreeBSD 5.3 system and I do a full system backup and a backup from the resellers section, will I be able to take that to a new fresh install of FreeBSD 5.3 and restore it with no problems? Is that the Best approach?
 
I don't think so. There seems to be some files missing from sysbak that will give you a hard time upon a system restore. A couple of people have posted some files on this board as to what you need to add to sysbak in order to succesfully restore your setup to a new server.
 
FreeBSD if using the built in backup system change /home to /usr/home then you should be ok. I also add custom dirs /etc and /usr/local/etc for good measure.
