   Hi,   
      
   I put the system I use on   
   https://www.staalenberk.nl/Backup_files/Backup%20script.html.   
   It consists of a perl script that uses rsync to make backups.  On my   
   system I do it daily.  It is fully capable to restore the system to a   
   previous, working state.   
   Feel free to modify (you should to adapt it to your requirements).
