Re: Debian OS Backup

We are running linux with Debian OS. I am new to using linux and
debian. Can I use an external hard drive to backup the operating system
and files on our linux servers? If so, how do I create a full backup of
the system for disaster recovery? Is it easy to restore if there is a
need?
Note that the use of external drives like USB for "disaster recovery"
is not a very good idea. You need to store your backups remote from the
computer being backed up, and you need at least three backups used in
rotation. So, using a USB drive is expensive and subject to losing
data during transport.
Is there documentation somewhere that I can read that explains how to do
this? Thanks for your help in advance.
I don't know of any.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
