how can i mount the drive of system 2 on system 1 in a way that system 1
gets all the data from sys 1 and sys2 for backup.

You can either use NFS to mount the other systems drive on the backup
machine or you can use the remote tape access capability of tar to
effectively do the same.  To use tar:

cd /
tar cvf backupmachine.your.com:/dev/rst0 .

Permissions have to be granted on the tape machine to give the other
machine access.  Look at the rmt(8) command for more information.

The current release is 2.4.0 and there isn't a port for that yet.
We use it on Solaris to backup 4 servers on one tape drive.

:Better yet, use Amanda.

Bzzt, thanks for playing!

"amanda24" is the port you're looking for.

I think it was done because there've been a few incompatibilities that
have been introduced recently.

It's hell to install on some older systems, but it's a great package,
and compiles nicely under FreeBSD.
