Sorry, I meant to reply to the list but realize that I must not have.

I recommended deja-dup to the OP a while back. I've used this successfully for a few weeks now and it's a rather nice app, somewhat like TimeMachine for OS X but with a bit less customizability (I.e. I'm not sure you can do anything more than restore one previous revision, but I could be wrong.) It was fairly easy to configure, accessible and is nicely fire-and-forget, requiring no manual intervention to perform backups.

greetings,
Do to technical difficulties I have fallen behind with the ubuntu and orca mailing lists. I noticed no one had responded to this yet.

I'm not sure what your needs are, but I just use tar to make a compressed archive of my system. I even restored from tar once too. An explination of how to use tar for backing up can be found here:
