That's a bit much asked I think.

If it's a single RHEL3 system You have I'd recommend looking into (besides the manual) mondorescue, for multiple hosts the bare metal restore feature of bacula could be charming and for bit-by-bit images I would recommend using g4u.
but either way you'll have to make some reading, otherwise the policy won't fit your site and you'll end up with broken backups over the no backups you now appear to have.
