bunch of backup-scripts
http://www.Linux-Backup.net/app.gwif.html
for simple saving /etc ( all your config files )
- stick in a floppy and copy /etc to floppy
( if it fits -- it should )
tar zcvf /dev/fd0 /etc ;; sync
-- to read it --
tar ztvf /dev/fd0
---------
for saving debian
dpkg --get-selections * > /mnt/floppy/backup.pkg.lst
build up a minium debian sytem
dpkg --set-selections < /mnt/floppy/backup.pkg.lst
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get upgrade
verify your config files and data and install /home and /usr/local
assuming you were good about where you kept your user data
