Hi Skondolf,
if you want to make simple backups on filesystem level, you can use rsync.
The mondo suite (backup/restore) creates partition backups on filesystem level and is able to store them as bootable iso files. You can use these cds/dvds to recover your system from scratch.
I surely didn't hard proof mondo, but had two succesfull recovers.
I experienced only one problem: The data I wanted to save included a filespool with a lot of subdirectories - realy a lot of. Mondo got massive ram problems while recursing this structure.
I saw a tool, that worked on partition level long time ago. It worked like norton ghost and supported nearly all partition types - ntfs experimental. I don't remember the programs name, I believe it was partimage.
Greetz,
Clemente
