Since home dirs will come from server, I feel it is
better to tackle at the time of login by the user.
In X, Xstartup script will run as root immediately
after successful login but before the user is given
the window. You may probably put the script to copy
from backup before they can work. This has to be setup
in the display manager you use. e.g for kdm it is in
/etc/kde/kdm/Xstartup.
Hope this helps.
