you can use tar, rsync ....
take a look at

You may also want to do a search on this forum's archives. This question is only asked and answered three times a day on this forum.

If you have any questions about Linux you should first do a Google search, then search this forum's archives and if you still do not get an answer then ask a question. The chances of your question being unique are very small.

You can use part image to do this.

i used partimage for my full backup of Ubuntu... before i changed to Fedora :)

it is simple and easy: quick guide

get these:
download partimage http://www.partimage.org/download
get your LIVE CD - i used Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD

1. reboot machine and run Live CD
2. install partimage
3. run it and backup drives or files
[you will copy it into either a location on local drive or another partition or you can copy it onto an external drive]

restoring uses the same process but opting for retore instead of backup

Fedora is a good OS systemi used it for a few years and will be using it again with fedora 10 and ubuntu with win2k on the same system evry soon.

If you're only backing up your data, you can use rsync (which has some trouble in Ubuntu) I wrote a workaround guide:
