Kdar can backup the entire OS, if you want it to. Start kdar, then click on Settings, Configure kdar. Select directories, and click on the Add button. You can select a directory from the drop-down list, or just enter / to make the backup relative to the root of the filesystem. You will also see a drop-down list button after clicking the Add button, probably defaulting to Exclude (to add directories to exclude from the backup). Click on that button then select Include to add directories to include in the backup. Mix and match any way you want. The backup is make relative to the root of the filesystem from which you run kdar. So, if you want windows directories/files included, the win partition must be mounted when you run the backup.
When you're done with Directories, do the same with Files In fact, go through all the categories.. There is also a place to select files by extension, to NOT try to compress, because they're already compressed, such as .gz, .tgz, etc.
You can also specify directories to save the structure, but not the files within (such as /proc, /dev/pts) so that when you restore, the directories will be restored (as opposed to recreating them manually). These are directories which are populated on boot-up, so you don't need to save the files in them.
