Linux image backup utility

Question

Can anyone suggest a linux backup utility that can take a copy of the state with the current configuration so I can boot with it or install it on an external/new partition on a different machine?

Answer 1

I used Deja Dup which is installed in Ubuntu by default. It's actually a front-end of Duplicity which you can use if you prefer command line approach.

Of course, there are several other solutions so take a look on a list here
