clonezilla - Linux backup recommendation?

I've read this excellent post: Comparison of backup tools



...But I'm having trouble finding one that meets my criteria. Hopefully someone with some hands-on experience can save me the weeks of trying each package :)



This is what I'm looking for:





  1. Scheduling so I can run a weekly backup

  2. Backup must cover the ENTIRE system for a quick restore in a jam. Similar to Clonezilla.

  3. Prefer bootable USB/CD to restore from



If anyone is familiar with Acronis in Windows, I'm looking for something like that. Set it to 1AM Friday mornings, and let it do its thing. If I hose my Ubuntu install, I pop in a USB stick, punch in my NAS address, and let it restore.



Thanks for any input!
