Personnaly, I think NSsBackup is hte best backup tool out there, it would definitely serve you well with your HD problem to make a backup and restore quickly, even on a networked drive, good luck!

Actually the code for “HomeUserBackup” is there and functional, I’m using it with satisfaction on one of my.
In Ubuntu, just apt-get “hubackup” ;)

Those fine chaps, Seth and Jef, have already mentioned pybackpack so I’ll not pimp it further. It does the job, but it ain’t pretty (yet?).

For GNOME, I think the way forward would be to add the concept of a ‘backup set’ (something like a named list of include and exclude points in the file tree) to nautilus with a framework to allow plugins to be written for nautilus which backup/restore backup sets and report progress.

ZFS is your friend, switch to OpenSolaris and do incremental backups or complete filesystem snapshots with a single command. (There’s a GUI on the way too.)

“Did you said DrakSnapshot ? :)”

Ugh, That name alone will kill the project. How about you folks actually name a project nicely and propose it as a generic upstream project instead of specialized distro tools? Red Hat learned this lesson long back.

Did you said DrakSnapshot ? :)

First release of DrakSnapshot (which is a Time-machine like backup system, based on rsnapshot) is part of Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. UI is not perfect yet, full restoration from installer and integrated restoration from Nautilus and Dolphin is planned for next Mandriva Linux release (2009), scheduled in october 2008.
