1. Full backup on day 1 to the backup server.
2. Write the full backup to media (either CD-R or CD-RW or DVD-RW, haven't really decided yet), and leave the data in the drives in the backup server
3. Differential backup on day 2 to day 7
4. Remove lask week backup from Harddrive, then Goto 1.
I believe rsnapshot will do everything you want. You might want to set up a mondo image of the box newly-installed, so you can restore from "bare metal" with mondo. Then you backup everything you need and restore from the rsnapshot backup. That would keep the size of your backups down even further.
