The only fully bare-metal ready backup solution I know of for CentOS is mondorescue. IME, it's the bare-metal recovery that is going to be the hardest requirement for you to meet (at least for free-as-in-beer software), the rest can be done by many different pieces of available software: backuppc, bacula, rdiff-snapshot, dervish etc.

Mondo is great, but there's another option. Take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l . I've used this on windows system successfully, and it'll work great on CentOS.
Thanks!

This doesn't seem to do differential backups though, only full images?

Also, I'm not sure if it will work on a live system. Is G4L able to image the drive even with open files running in multi-user mode?
If so, that would be really sweet.
