I think you're right, you have a 32-bit machine. Use the install-x86-minimal CD.
When the CD boots it'll pour text across the screen for abit. That's normal. Wait until it brings you to a red root prompt to start typing things in.
Um, Try cat /etc/issue ? I still don't know what your system's distro is and am running out of ways to find out.
How you'd freshen the bare-metal backup? A couple ways. All of them would involve mounting the disk somehow(might be sdb6 or sdc6 or something like that, but not sda6) and updating its contents.
1) You could halt whatever service is serving files, cp -Rp /home/* /mnt/whatever, and start the service again. Simple, but slow since it copies files it already has, and won't delete any files that were deleted from your server in the meantime so it'll tend to accumulate old files.
2) Same as 1, but delete everything first. Even slower since it does even more work, but won't accumulate dead files.
3) rsync or something like rsync, to keep them synchronized. Smart enough to trawl through the drives and only update changed things. I'd need to research how to do this safely and sanely.
