This is a simple to way to back up your ubuntu installation. Copy and paste this code to backup all your files:
sudo su
cd /
tar cvpzf backup.tgz –exclude=/proc –exclude=/lost+found –exclude=/backup.tgz –exclude=/mnt –exclude=/sys –exclude=/media /
Copy and Paste this into the terminal to restore to that backup:
sudo tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /
It is best to backup or restore when you are not using the computer. I run it when I got to sleep.
