Tar and a CDRW is probably going to be your safest bet. It's very wasteful spacewise to back up an entire partition. A per-file backup gives you alot more flexibility in how much storage space you end up using, and what files you want to restore and what you don't. Especially if your primary concern is restoring home directory components after a distro new install. Then you get to pick and choose what gets put back and what doesnt. L8R !!
