I need to completely backup Debian 5.0 over network (internet) to my Windows machine. Later I’m going to switch device to identical one and restore Linux there. I access Linux by ssh and sftp. What a fast and simple approach would you recommend? Please also specify how to restore if it’s not obvious.
