What is the best way to back up as much as possible of Debian 12 on my laptop to a server that has SSH available? I am currently backing up my users /home/<homedir> folder, but I would like to be able to nuke and restore the system from a backup.
I have ventoy on an external drive if that helps any.
P.S. I would like to be able to do incremental backups too.
There will always be gaps, but describing your machine through Ansible is worth it and can be fun if you’re into that sort of thing.
The first time I set up a freshly installed Debian laptop from my existing Ansible roles was a really enjoyable moment.
Being able to establish a familiar base on a fresh system at will is a far greater power than pure config/data backups.
