I think I saw from your screen shots that you are using an ext4 filesystem.  You might want to take a look at this:

Subject: [PLUG] Ubuntu backup strategy

I have a Dell poweredge R510 server configured with Raid 5 + a hot spare running an Ethereum node. The setup took a while but the Eth1 chain takes a few days to download.

I’m wondering if there is a way I can back up the system that would retain all the settings and would also backup the chain? So, in case of a system failure, I can start the new system they would only require a few quick updates.
