I understand that you are doing BSD, but I have used partimage. It works
very well. I used it to image my windows partition from Linux so I could
migrate it to a smaller drive. My main complaint against it (and this is
probably due to its current point in the development cycle) was that the
partition which you restore to must be at least as large as the
partition that was backed up, even if there was a small amount of data
(in my case, one partition was 8GB with 900MB of data, and I could not
restore to a 2GB partition).

That said, if you it fits your needs, it works well.
