There is an interesting Linux program called ReaR (Relax and Recover)
that generates a bootable image and script to reinstall to bare metal
from a few different types of backups. I always thought that it
would be relatively simple to integrate that into backuppc so the
bootable image was a file included in the backup so you would only
need to make the USB or iso after you knew you needed it, and the
reinstall script would pull the backup from backuppc. But there is a
little too much black magic dealing with differences in Linux versions
for me to trust that it would work if I tried to change it.
