Thanks for that. I only picked up on rear this morning, I suppose if
you don't go looking for it you'll never find it. A combination of the
paper Site Management Guide and the nightly disk summary have worked for
over 20 years on *NIX! VMS before that was totally different, but we
still kept paper copies of configuration.

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.

Felix
