save and restore Users and accounts, settings mail etc.
 

How do I save user accounts (login/passwords), settings and mail for disater recovery?
I am using Tapeware as backup app to seagate travan.

To save login/password information back up the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.

Mail is stored in /var/spool/mail

login/password:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/shadow

settings:
~/.*
:}


mail:
depends on program in use...

Do I just use "FileRoller"?

You could also just "tar" the entire /home, /var and /etc directories into different tarballs. Those are you most important directories that exists.
