That wouldn't work for me:

denali/home/esoteric> du -sh /home/esoteric
6.7G    /home/esoteric

Yeah, the key is to make sure folks put stuff in the right place.

I don't see it.  I think it'd be easier and faster to do a reinstall and 
then update with incremental backups.  There's really not an easy way to 
take a full backup to a down machine and easily put it back in the same 
state it was prior to a crash.
