If you want a quick way to restore your current setup, take a look
at partimage. http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page It is part of the
System Rescue CD. http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page This give you
the advantage of backing up an unmounted file system.

If you want to use tar, take a look at the --one-file-system option.
