I have a dedicated server with centOS. I need to do a full system backup, save backup file on server and download a copy of that backup file to my personal computer (local computer in office).

From what I have read the tools to use are either dump or rsync.

1.Step: make file system backup via dump -> save as compressed gz file

2.Step: download the gz file to my local pc(windows)

3.Step: On later time, if centOS is corrupted/broken/hacked -> upload gz file to server and restore whole system via this backup file

How can this be achieved ? Thanks in advance

If it is just filesystems, there are many tools. Rsync through SSH is a simple start.

For a whole system, look at Clonezilla.
