John, I urpmi'd and installed partimage, however, looking at it I can't see anyway to specify which directories in /home/chris I want to backup. There are some such as my mp3 dir that I don't need backed up. I did find another app called Backerupper that does let you specify which directories and files to backup and which to ignore. It seems to work pretty well, uses zip for compression and is fast. I just have to work out the problem with my cron event not making the archive correctly. Manually it works great.
