Not the intended usecase but fogproject can be used to pull images. Then later you can just PXE boot and place a image back on to a differen system.
Still i think borg would be better for actual backups.
Had to search for a while what even pxe boot is, but I believe I came around the suggestion. I like fogproject main idea, sounds like a way to deploy thin clients or similar. Not exactly what I am looking for,but it's good to know this exists. Thanks!
What can also be a good option is urbackup. it supports different operating systems full image backups of windows clients. Not entirely sure if it supports image backups of a linux clients how ever.
