Most computer users don't make use of a system backup tool until after
they suffer the misfortunes of a hard drive crash without one. But even

Simple Backup Suite (sbackup) is a tool for configuring regular backups
of system data and simplifying full and partial recoveries.
A product of Google's 2005 Summer of Code, sbackup is a set of Python

simple-restore-gnome.
