[TriLUG] Linux Backup and Restore to totally wiped partition

[Tarus Balog]

Gang:

Having moved off of Apple products about 18 months ago, one thing I miss
is Time Machine. Time Machine let's me boot using the O/S install disk,
select "Restore from Backup" and two hours later I'm back to where I
started.

I use the built-in Ubuntu backup solution for my personal information,
but I would like to use something else for my training room machines.
I'd like to be able to install a clean build, back it up, then after
class restore it to the exact state it was when the backup was taken.

Any suggetions?
