My system that I built late last year/early this year is running great, except for the occasional overrun of inbound ssh from such addresses as 59.*.*.*, 213.*.*.* and others, but that's only because I have not put any blockers in place, either on my home gateway device or my Debian system, but that one's on me. I have no GUI desktops installed, I run completely from CLI and use Speakup for all of it, including and especially Image for Linux for backup and restore, which I use on all my Windows machines..
I'd like to take the installed Debian system as it is, write it to a CD or DVD, and use that as a talking backup/restore disc. Is this possible? Or should I create a new installation and write it to an ISO image, or just what should I do to accomplish the goal of creating a basic talking Debian shell environment that includes a licensed IFL? As always, thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
