Hi, I have a Linux server working very well. It consists of a lot of software like qmail and stuff which I downloaded and compiled. And also a lot of configurations, users etc. during reinstall if I just use the distro ( CentOS in this case) I would spend a lot of time again to get the server in the same working order.
just backup home var and etc
I would like to sort of image it so I can reinstall it painlessly if it crashes. Or I can install it on some other server so as to replicate the setup.
scp to another server rsync bacula
What are the best ways to do this? (Apart from using commercial Imaging or Disaster Recovery software.)
You can use gnu software in every imaginable commercial way subject to not violating the gpl. I do.
