Can I create a website as a mirror for an existing one?

I would like to create a static website (on Linode) that could act as a repository for existing content on a different hosting. Like a 'Table of Contents', is this feasible? Currently it's only a 'hobby-website' but I've got a lot of content that could be ported over if it's more efficient to do it this way.

I don't see why not. I do that using git. git is a version control system so you can archive your whole site remotely (using a cron job if you want the process to be periodic). You can do the same with the server config (which I also do). You just have to make sure permissions are correct on restore.
