Hi,
If you have more space on your backup harddrive,
the easiest way is use some liveCD and backup the whole harddrive.
You should do with this command:
dd if=/dev/sda | gzip > /mnt/path/to/image.gz
And command for restore
gzip -dc /mnt/path/to/image.gz | dd of=/dev/sda
Or you can backup only MBR
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/path/to/mbr_image count=1 bs=512
And restore:
dd if=/mnt/path/to/mbr_image of=/dev/sda
And copy files from /dev/sda* manually.
