My one-liner to make a full backup:
***
tar -cvjf /data/backup/sm01/$(date '+%F').tar.bz2 /home/sm01 --exclude=.local/share/Trash --exclude=.thumbnails
***
That will create a (big) file under "/data/backup/sm01/2010-11-02.tar.bz2" of the
whole "/home/sm01" minus the Trash folder and Thumbnails image cache.
Not an ISO image though, just a plain ".tar.bz2"
