I've seen cases where rsync was 2x-4x slower than tar, when there was no
data to compare to.

I've done it using the GUI. Bring up the affected machine on a Live CD,
run sshd and install the BackupPC root key. Create a mounted filesystem
tree in /mnt/, and use the GUI to restore there.
hi, I've written about that on my blog some time ago, its a little how
to. just search for backuppc on www.linux-geex.com.

You are correct, Clonezilla will not resize a partition. When replacing
a hard drive, I usually get a larger capacity drive, restore and then
resize it with Gparted on a Knoppix live cd.

For me, I use a backup client mainly for unique apps and data. Since most of
my boxes run Debian, I have pretty much figured out the directories to
backup/restore to save the box.
I back up the following Debian-related directories:

/var/cache/apt (less /var/cache/apt/archives)
