Make an Ubuntu Backup Live CD/DVD with remastersys
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 2:00 AM on December 6, 2007
Ubuntu/Mint Linux only: The HowToForge posts a helpful guide to installing and using command-line utility remastersys to create a live CD or DVD of your Ubuntu or Linux Mint system. We've previously featured the graphical tool Reconstructor as a fine way to choose programs and options for your system, but remastersys offers a total system backup, including files and settings, from one terminal command. Remastersys is a free download for Ubuntu and Mint Linux that requires adding a third-party source to your repositories, and using it may require having your installation CD or DVD handy.

i second that, your linux tips arer always my favorite.
another similar app is called "aptoncd" it only backs up your installed packages, not documents. A good alternative for those of us afraid of the command line though.

nice, lookin for one of these since reconstructor only does it for 7.04. Linux format magazine had a neat little guide on how to do it just with the command line in issue 97, though.
