“Now let’s assume you have a dedicated Linux server (rented or
co-location) that is located in some provider’s data center which

an image is no problem, even on a remote system that is in a data
center, it is all described in the “Creating Images Of Your Linux
System With SystemImager” tutorial.“But how do you restore such an image…?”
