Best practise taking and restoring VPS backups

$

I have yet a question to ask here on LET.

I'm just testing out some rsync option between servers, and just found out about the complete server command rsync -aAXv /* 10.129.xxx.xxx:/ --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*, /sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found}

After some testing I found out that using this command to backup the complete server from iwStack to DigitalOcean did not work. But there is no issues at all using it from one DO server to another.

How can I take a complete backup of my VPS server, that I can restore on any other server without any issues? (I may have to change the ifcfg-eth0 settings).

Today I only use Virtualmin backups, but I have to setup a new server with all settings before I can load my Virtualmin backup of my domains. This time I want to try a complete backup of all the content.

Any advice?
