What I've done in the past is before the nightly backup write a small file to the root of each filesystem giving disk geometries. You can then use any recovery DVD to partition and reload the OS. If rear can do this for me it would be __much__ neater!
According to rear webpage: https://relax-and-recover.org/about/ Extensive disk layout implementation, incl. * HWRAID (HP SmartArray) * SWRAID * LVM * multipathing * DRBD * iSCSI * LUKS (encrypted partitions and filesystems) I personally used rear to restore lvm volume groups and several logical volumes with success. I will test a more complicated layout until the end of this year and can let you know about the findings.
