Hello people.

I need to back up my Debian server, which mainly acts as a gateway (iptables) and proxy (squid). I’d like to back it up in a way that should enable me to recover the whole system onto a new harddisk drive, if the actual one would fail.
Is backupPC right for this purpose, or would it be better to take some sort of “snapshots” with some other software/tool?

I would suggest http://clonezilla.org/ for taking snapshots and use backuppc for configuration, custom scripts and log files

Many thanks in advance.
