[PLUG] What are the most viable backup options for linux

[Chaitannya Mahatme]

Dear all,

I wanted to install an automatic backup and restore for my laptop. I 
wanted a solution which would take incremental backup of my primary 
partition every week or so.
In case of disk failure I should be able to use a live cd and restore 
the disk in last good condition ?

I found PING <http://ping.windowsdream.com/>, which is very similar to 
what I am looking for. An suggestions on that? BTW it does not have 
automatic backup, only lacuna.

Cheers !!!
