Suggestion for FreeBSD5.4 and WHM 1.0 Server maintenance

hi:
Thanks for reading.

I am newbie for Linux (Havent touched linux since two years ago).

currently i got a dedicated server ,
The OS is FreeBSD5.4 Release, with Cpanel 10.8

I installed most of secuirty patched that mentioned in this forums. but i still have some questions regarding server maintenance once server in production place.

1. how to mointor this server performance and when the server's services go down, i can get alert ASAP.

2. how to prevent server being attacked? how to identify a attack source when it happens? normally how to solve the server attack issue?

3. server back up and disater recovery, any suggestion?

thanks very much.
