FlyBack

FlyBack is a handy software for backing up and restoring your system, similar to Apple's Time Machine. If you love how easy Time Machine makes things on Mac, you'll be glad to know that Linux has a lot of the same tools built right in. FlyBack gives you a simple interface to make everything super user-friendly.
