[aklug] Backing up an entire drive

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hey guys... I'm considering making an experimental change to one of my
Gentoo systems (ripping out and replacing the default rc system with
openrc). I wanted to back up my entire drive so that in the likely event
that I render my system non-bootable and in pieces, I can just restore
everything from a file/image. I've never had to back up an entire drive
before because in the past I was simply concerned about certain
irreplaceable data, but in this case I've got a whole dm-crypt + lvm
disk configuration I want to preserve in a pristine state.

I would appreciate any fatherly guidance about the best way to approach
this for easy one-time backup and quick restoration (if necessary).
