Hello,
I have Ubuntu 7.10 and a DVD burner. So, I am planning to back my system
onto a DVD. I looked at Ubuntu community documentation:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem?highlight=%28backup%
29, and there are a lot of options.
So, which option would be good to backup my system onto a DVD?
Thanks
Chris

How big is your home folder? If it'll fit onto a DVD, the easiest thing
to do is just copy it without any special software.
Thanks,

Along the lines of this method I recommend SBackup, it's in the Ubuntu
repos and was a google summer of code project. It takes the guess work
out of knowing which files are the right system files and makes a nice
tar.gz for you.
