Using a linux derivate, there are plenty of more or less creative options to selectively backup/restore arbitrary file systems, but this is rather OT for the ML. Here are some of my favorite tools: rsync for ad hoc operations, rsnapshot for regular file based backups, borg for deduplicated backups (e.g. VM images). They all perform nicely over LAN as well. If you seek professional support in this regard, send an PM.
