to paraphrase: Real men post their stuff on the net and let everyone else back it up. Seriously though, I use rdiff-backup and cron jobs to pull backups of critical data and /etc using pub-key ssh authentication to make the connections. I have no bare-metal restoration plan, just reinstall, install packages, recover data and /etc and roll on. Probably not a well advised plan, but it works for me. A
