Axios Been looking but havent found anything like systembackup
Yes, there are several alternatives in the repository. I find restic easy to use, and after a little bit of setup, you can back up your personal files with a single word at a terminal. A command to run a backup (once you set up the repository) is like this:
alias backup='restic backup /home/(your user name) -r /(your backup destination)'
If you also want to backup all the installed packages, consider these:
alias copyPackages="eopkg li | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | tr '\n' ' ' > ~/InstalledPackages"
alias restorePackages='sudo eopkg install $(cat InstalledPackages)'
Add these aliases to your .bashrc file, and you'll be all set. Run copyPackages before you run backup, and your list of packages will be included with your home directory backup.
Thanks to the original author of these last two, whose name I've forgotten by now.
