What is the best way to back up as much as possible of Debian 12 on my laptop to a server that has SSH available? I am currently backing up my users /home/<homedir> folder, but I would like to be able to nuke and restore the system from a backup.

I have ventoy on an external drive if that helps any.

P.S. I would like to be able to do incremental backups too.

    dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=5M --status=progress

    Just don’t mix up a and b otherwise you’re truly screwed.
