Re fsarchive,
VastOne has written the best tutorial for fsarchive available on interweb,

http://vsido.org/index.php?topic=217.0

About only thing VastOne can add there to improve is,
.....suggested-edit.....
2: Run the savefs portion of fsarchiver.
single-dual core PC with 1GB or less RAM,
sudo fsarchiver -z7 savefs /mnt/iso/buildos.fsa /dev/sdc2

single-dual core PC with more than 1GB of RAM,
sudo fsarchiver -z8 savefs /mnt/iso/buildos.fsa /dev/sdc2

quod core PC with 4GB or less RAM,
sudo fsarchiver -j3 -z8 savefs /mnt/iso/buildos.fsa /dev/sdc2

quod core PC with more than 4GB of RAM,
sudo fsarchiver -j3 -z9 savefs /mnt/iso/buildos.fsa /dev/sdc2

PC with more than four cores and a plenty of RAM,
sudo fsarchiver -j4 -z9 savefs /mnt/iso/buildos.fsa /dev/sdc2
.....suggested-edit.....
The above ensures performance-compression ratio is balanced.

Cheers!!!

^ Modified! Thank you for spelling it out!

Edit: I also changed the second part on how to correct the uuid so you can boot. The chroot method is so much cleaner

Please take a look at it here to critique

Thanks for accepting my suggestion :)
And yes the chroot method is the better option for updating grub configuration.

BTW how much the backup of your build FS weighs if you use '-z9 savefs' option. It was around 1GB mark with default compression option if I remember it correctly.
