What would be the smartest approach to have a full bootable backup of a Debian customized system ?
As backup media I could use : 4mm SCSI tape, SCSI CD-R, vfat parition on other disk, the network. On AIX there a mksysb command which produces a bootable tape backup of the whole system (the rootvg volume group to be picky). Once I have a system which is up and running, correctly configured, I ususally make a mksysb and in case of a disk failure I only need to place the mksysb in the tape drive, boot from it and voila my system is fully restored and alive again.
