Rep:
For one thing, "all the files and directories listed below" do no have to be backed up. In particular, swap, proc, mntab, etc. What you need is a quiescent system (single user, snapshot, or boot off CD), and then backup up the partitions you are using, which appear to be:
c1t0d0s0, s1, s3, s5, s6 and s7, and
c1t1d0s0
Do you have a tape drive? Or access to a tape drive on another machine? Or adequate drive space available on another machine? With a bit more information, someone can toss you a few commands, a script, or a web link.
