Hello Nick!

Your recommendation for drivesnapsot reminded me of driveimg  
which operates the same way. I have used driveimg when i had  
spare external drives. It worked flawlessly in the reverse  
direction to rebuild a system onto a new HDD.

I think I will simply need to get an 2TB external drive and  
just use driveimg for the full system backup.

But I am liking the idea of using gpgtar | winscp or restic for  
SFTP'ing copies of some important directories.
