Probably the differences will be small and it will mostly work, however "mostly" can still result in a great deal of frustrating debugging, so personally if I were you I'd: - Install Debian again how I wanted, with LVM or whatever - Configure the services again, possibly referring to (but not simply bulk-overwriting existing directory trees with) my backups - Copy my data back into place from the backups It's not as quick as "press a button, there, it's re-imaged", but it avoids introducing new problems.
