Of course, BackupPC is well suited to backup and recovery of individual 
sets of files rather than complete systems.  In the event of hardware 
media failure, I'd generally take it as an opportunity to start afresh 
with a new operating system, and recover just the user files.

Recently I lost a drive on a system with a large number of proprietary 
drivers that had been updated over the years, and applying that plus all 
the necessary software would have been a daunting task, so I simply 
restored *everything* from BackuPC, following this procedure:

I'm happy to report that it works.  While it may not always be an 
adequate substitute for an image backup, the system is back up and 
running and virtually indistinguishable from before its drive failed.
