As far as ssd, I have no ssd. Only hdd and will not be getting an ssd soon. Now if uploading or sending remotely maybe that would definitely be different, and your option would be perfect in those situations. Even encryption I see.
But sometimes I just want to save locally. If for example, saving to a partition, and not needing encryption. I see though with duplicity, encryption is not required. In that case the network install ISO would simply be used as a rescue, to rescue from one partition something saved to another. Clonezilla works for this, though a bit unwieldy IMO. Your duplicity seems to be great for a remote, large scale backup/incremental backup situation.

Is there a way to add a backup restore method to, for example, the fedora net install. That might be what I need.In my use case that is would not be useful as one of my fedora machines is my router.
If it breaks then i have no network to netinstall from!
I find that the ssd method is robust , allows me add scripts to help with specific machines and works with all my fedora machines.
A take it that setting up an ssd as a rescue device does not appeal.

I created a fedora rescue usb ssd that i install any software i need to maintain my machines.
That removes the limitation of what is installled on the live media.
I use duplicity for backup and restore.
