Development is under way, let the coffee flow, and the days never end!

I don't mean to sound impatient since you guys are doing all the work and I'm just sitting here but any idea when this will be complete?

Will this have the option to automatically back up at certain intervals?  (i.e. every Friday @ 2am?)

Not in the first version, perhaps down the line.

Hi,

You could look at "REDO Backup" for complete offline / bare metal HD & Partition images
http://redobackup.org/

I have been looking at Systemback,
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/07/install-backup-tool-systemback-1-0-ubuntu-14-04/

It allows you to create windows like "Restore Points"

It also allows you to create a "Live Image" whilst LL is running.
It then gives you an option to create a "Live Boot" USB stick to re-install from.
I've done the 1st Bit, I've tested it "Live Boots" O.K it does...
I now just need to test the re-install option works.

Hello!

Thanks for the tip. I'll give this Systemback a shot.

I miss Windows' System Restore feature not being available in Linux. There are times when it really comes in handy...
