It should be possible to nuke ones laptop at any moment, and not be worried about backups and recovery. Of course, it's normally not quite that easy, but I feel like I'm reasonably close to that state most of the time. The main trouble is that testing the restore takes quite a bit of time, and so I don't do it very often. It should be a matter of booting from a new Kubuntu thumb drive, installing the OS, and restoring the files from an external (encrypted) backup drive. In those files should be a set-up script that installs all the required configuration.
