I have used and like Mondorescue... it is made for bare-metal recovery
and will do everything you need... it is just an apt-get away <g>
apt-get install mondo petris (so that you can play tetris while the
recovery is running <g>).
Back up your existing data to DVD,CDR, ISO, or tape; boot off the first
media (yes it is bootable and can use your existing kernel) tell it to do
a full recovery and Bob's yer uncle... (Yes, it can even do fdisk
and formating)
