Bootable backup cd ?

1999-02-25 Thread Marcel Burggraeve
What I'd like to do is to make a backup of my debian system on a bootable cd-rom. The idea is to boot from the cd and have it 'copy' all data to a harddisk so I can run debian again within short time if I ever mess up. I've found a utility which should do this named backup linux at http://ny.us.mir
