You could try using a free backup system such as Amanda (http://www.amanda.org/) or Bacula (http://www.bacula.org/); or one of many commercial alternatives (Legato, Veritas, Arkeia, etc) A simple, but more difficult to manage, solution would be to write a bunch of shell scripts using rdump, or to be slightly more secure, using tar with ssh & dd. Eg, tar cf - / | ssh remotehost dd of=/dev/rmt0 Make sure you've set up your ssh keys first...
