As long at the installation could be made easy, if it's on an importande
machine that are cunstom installed I'm sure the installation (just
ansering all questions) would take a loot longer. (At least you HAVE to
remenber exactly what packages you had installed. (I don't)
The bast backup is that one that never get used. If you can affordit
backups are on harddrives, (using raid) and on an extra host. That you
also have a tape (in a diferent pysical location).
