Backup Software Recomends

[Jason Sauders]

I'd opt for Clonezilla. I seem to recall Clonezilla having an option to
create a custom ISO within their advanced menu. This new custom ISO would
have all of the predefined settings included, so burning that new ISO to CD
or writing it to a USB flash drive would eliminate a number of questions
that Clonezilla typically asks when pulling an image, thereby making the
process that much more straight forward.

I use rsync for the incremental data backups. Once you fine tune it to do
what you need it's difficult to beat. Clonezilla has always been my go-to
for full system backups, though.

Hope this helps!
