The question is really about bare metal restore, yes? I would recommend clonezilla and that you create a bootable thumb drive or cd and be sure you can boot off of either and access the storage that you intent to contain your backup.

It will do a single disk at a time (no raid), or you can manually pick partitions. It knows enough about most filesystems to skip the unused portions. 'Relax-and-Recover' (ReaR) has a slightly different approach. It will create a bootable image including scripts to reconstruct your filesystem layout (including multiple disks, lvm, raid, etc.), and then restore a tar-type backup onto it. The actual backup part has several options included, or you can stop after the filesystem is ready and do your own restore. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
