Dear List -
What software would you recommend to backup a Debian system on a
stand-alone computer?
I've used mondoarchive for years. It works and is well supported by
the author and community. It is NOT GUI based. This is a major
advantage if your system crashes and you can get to a console, but
not to a gui. (I had that problem a couple of months ago.
Mondoarchive saved my computer's data and allowed me to restore it.)
It backs up to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, USB key/disk, Tape, Net mount or
hard disk. It compresses the data and makes your backup media
bootable (within reason).
It is worth the time.
