rsnapshot looks like a pretty cool & unique way of doing things.  Quite a

Not really.  Assuming a new, clean drive:

* Boot a Live CD of your choice, enable networking.
* Create the partitions and file systems to match the original.
* rsync -avSHP user@server:/path/to/snapshot /
* install GRUB and reboot.
