I use the following recipe: 1/ Full system image (usually one time, and/or refreshed after a apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade) using redobackup for offline backup on DVD / external USB. 2/ rsync based incremental backups - takes care of (a) the important directories that I want backed up (b) the koha data dumps generated via koha-run-backups. Both (a) and (b) being cron driven. hope that helps cheers -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have got rsync & cron working locally and remotely for data and used Clonezilla to take a full system image (and restored it in a few minutes to identical hardware). Greg On 19 March 2015 at 20:16, Chrispin Simasiku Sitali <libsitali@gmail.com> wrote:
