Hello to everybody! I have a system running off a fully encrypted 160GB HD using LVM over LUKS. Obviously, taking an image of the disk clonezilla-style is very inefficient as I need 160GB per backup. So, regularly, I take a full tar of the system while the system is live. This way, data will not be lost, but in case of a disk failure, it will take some time before I set up manually the LUKS, then the LVM, then restore the data from the tar, restore grub, MBR etc *. Is there a better way? More efficient? How do others deal with that? Thanks! G. * By the way, I haven't tried this procedure, but my educated guess is that it will work...
