    [1] Make backups. tar(1), dump(8), doesn't matter.
    [2] Reinstall identical operating system on new equipment.
    [3] Restore backups into large partition sized for this operation
    (call it '/backups').
    [4] Compare the contents of each directory in /backups recursively
    against a known
            good copy, For example, to compare /usr against the backed-up
    image, do this:

        # diff -r /usr /backups/usr

    [5] Review the list for files which differ or which do not exist on
    the known good copy.
    [6] Exclude files for which there are good reasons for difference (IE,
    logs and state files).
    [7] Analyze the resulting files; pay particular attention to
    executables, but also libraries.

    You may also find it useful to reload the old operating system onto a
    box on an insulated network and monitor the operating system, its
    processes and its network traffic, using known good tools.
