I took a look and it looks like it should handle my needs for backing up the image but I'm not clear how one would restore it to another disk as a bootable image. I did read the section on recovering from disaster but again that seem to be mostly focused on local disk storage rather than net network.

Unfortunately, this is one of those edge condition scenarios. I need to make archival copies of three machines, store the information somewhere safe and if we should ever need the machines again, be able to restore them as working machines or at the very least access some of the files.

sometimes I find myself wishing these weren't g3/g4 machines so I could just snap them up as virtual machine images.
