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.

Look at mondoarchive.
