[mythtv-users] OT: Free backup solution for my linux boxes?

[William Munson]

After a lightning strike took out my windows boxes last week I am now 
hyper aware of a need to backup to non-volatile media. I have found a 
good solution for windows systems however I have not yet found something 
I like for linux.

My requirements are:
1. Backup to DVD-R
2. Backup of all specified partitions. Dont want to back up the tv 
recordings partition.
3. Must use/create bootable DVD so that I do not have to reinstall linux 
to restore backup.
4. No need for periodic backups. I will run them when I make significant 
changes to the system.

My windows solution is PowerQuest Drive Image (With bootable floppy)

Suggestions?

TIA,
Bill
