But to be clear, would this backup the entire system and restore it, in the event of a crash of something going horribly wrong?

Thanks also for this. I knew about XMBC and also about its rename. But I'm only interested in a client. I know as far as servers go, this is perhaps the best. And I like a lot of the new things they've done to it. But this is a laptop from which I want to listen to music on NAS while I work. XMBC is too much for this purpose.
