debian backup



Hi im looking for a backup solution for an etch server.

I have an external USB hard drive that I want to keep an entire image
of my system on, the server has two hard drives, one for the OS and
one for files. I'm wanting a solution that keeps one full backup and
does a differential backup (say once a week).

The important thing for me is the restore functionality, Im looking
for a solution that can rebuild both drives with the operating system
and mysql databases and everything, I don't want to have to reinstall
debian then restore the config files..

is there anything out there that will let create a boot disk or
something then pull the info from the backup drive as it rebuilds?
(nothing that requires a GUI either!)

thanks

Flamer.
