You can use either the "tar" or the "cpio" commands for a relatively system-indendent backup.  I recommend writing your own script and setting it up to run from a cron job.  For example, you might want to backup only the user data.  If the OS and your applications crash, they can be re-installed from original media.  Just make sure you've recorded all your configuration changes somewhere safe.

And, if you can acquire the resources (such as an extra test platform), you should test a restore procedure at least once.  You don't want to find out the hard way if there's a problem with the backup.
