Does "complete rebuild from scratch within 2 minutes work plus 10 minutes wait" sound good? All you need is working hardware, a bootable OS CD and a tape drive - no software installation necessary. Manual restore of single partitions is possible, too. Beware, the script has to be configured prior to usage - else you run risk of deleting your harddisk when restoring a broken system backup.
