You can use rsync for backup via FTP over SSH. luckybackup is a free software that act as frontend and can write the command for you. It is really easy. If you mount the ssh folder as local drive probably you can encrypt client side your backup.

I suggest you to download the live version of debian, this allow you to try debian before installing. BTW, In liknux you can choose which Graphics Interface to have in your pc. Using a live version will allow you tu choose the best for you. You can get the live version from the official website: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.4.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ Regards. H.
Re: Zero filling my HDD before installation
If you want to encrypt your hard drive using a passphrase debian automatically wipe all your disk using random data.

So I suggest to act like this: 1) Download latest debian live, whatever version 2) verify iso and burn in usb 3) test live (wifi working etc) 4) install, by following the easystep You can make sure that all of your hardware will work on debian. If you can't get you HW to work, you need to download a special version of debian that contain non free software IMHO is better to not use the live installer to surf the web or do anythings other than testing drivers (for security) > > and your saying it will allow me an option for encryption and random > fill before, during or after install?? During installation of linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora... ) you can choose to perform a full encrypted installation. While the installer encrypt your disk, all the sector of your hard drive will be overwriten. This is for make impossible to recover userdata by software. For you this is useful because if someone stole you laptop or you lose it you don't need to worry about your data being stolen. Good Luck H.
Re: Zero filling my HDD before installation
Ralph, Again, use the button reply to list. Disk encryption don't use gpg. You just have to remember a pass pharase that you use for unlock your hard disk. Installer will overwrite all your disk, but if you want you can skip this step by pressing "cancel" button please learn what gpg is and what is luks and use the reply to list button. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_encryption

Only if someone has physical access to your pc can.
