Hi Shane,
please try the instructions at
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html
(with appropriate modifications for FreeBSD).
If you can't get it to work, please get help from the nut-upsuser
mailing list (cc'd above), as I am no longer actively involved in NUT
development.
Good luck, -- Peter
