What I've done before for these kinds of things is use tar and netcat to copy the file system to another machine on the local network. And for peace of mind I'll also make a copy of the home directory to a flash drive. Shouldn't need any offsite storage. Thanks to all for the suggestions. My main concern was due to my lack of experience with emc2, and not knowing if I was going to need anything other than in /home. And thanks for the idea about the version control system for the configs.
