what keywords did you use ??
for debian backup ..
- do you want to backup the system too ??? or just use the
archieves all over the world ... ( already backed up )
see the bottom of a page to save and restore a deb box
http://www.Linux-Backup.net/app.gwif.html
you should backup /etc and /home ...for example
tons of free scripts to backup to cd, tape, whatever ...
"whatever" is the best media ( if its a hard disk )
