A lot of people recommend mondo-rescue. I think it creates a bootable |
| 15 |
CD/DVD and you can restore from there. I have never used this but it |
| 16 |
gets mentioned a lot. |

Also, just look around in app-backup and see what you can find. You may |
| 19 |
find something that better suites your needs. |

For me, I use Kbackup to back up my data, portage tree, and config files |
| 22 |
that I can use to rebuild from. It works well enough for me. It will |
| 23 |
even size the tarballs to fit on the CD/DVD too. This would mean |
| 24 |
recompiling everything again but that's just me. |

Most of this will depend on what you are needing to backup, whether you |
| 27 |
want a command line tool or GUI and a few other odds and ends. |
