IME, one seldom does a 'full' restore, as upgrades, hardware changes, et

For us, rsnapshot is an excellent tool - full versioning at the file level
(enable simple restore of a single file, as well as the working contents
of an entire system).
When a system rebuild was necessary, installing the OS and restoring from
the last snapshot worked well.
