Question from a newbie about backup software and more

[Computers4Christians]

If you want to backup absolutely everything; your whole Lubuntu 14.04 system including your applications, settings, passwords, etc. - try Black Lab Image Creator (formerly OS4SystemImage, formerly Remastersys).

Sorry I didn't think of this before. We use the "dist" option to make our C4C Lubuntu ReSpin (with several modifications), but it slipped my mind most folks use the "backup" option to make an exact copy of their whole system.

You could save a really stripped-down version of your system to fit on a CD, but a DVD or USB flash drive will let you fit a bunch more. I do believe you are limited to 4GB? I can't remember exactly.

I think you can also set up a USB flash drive with persistence so you can update it in an ongoing fashion. To find more info on that or anything else to do with BLIC, Google Remastersys. Not much has really changed since Remastersys except the "polish." No GUI, no .deb package right now, but it's still a script at it's heart.

#Download Black Lab from here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pcos/blacklabimager-source.tar.gz
#Change dependencies to remove discover1 and the extra space that follows it (an oops from the latest developer)
#Open the File Manager in Root
gksudo pcmanfm
#Copy blacklabimager folder, blacklabimager.conf and blacklabimager.conf~ file to /etc/
#Copy the blacklabimager~, blacklabimager-skelcopy, blacklabimager-skelcopy~ and dependencies to /opt/
#"X" out of PCManFM and back in LXTerminall
cd /opt
sudo chmod +x BlackLabImager~
sudo chmod +x dependencies
sudo ./dependencies
sudo ./BlackLabImager~ backup
#If needed again, run
sudo ./BlackLabImager~ clean
#then again run
sudo ./BlackLabImager~ backup
