Glad to hear about your transition to Linux!
RE: Backup. Wow choices. It all depends on what you want from the backup, how it is initiated (automatic or manual), CLI or GUI interface, etc. Some things to read and consider.

I'm sure you may see many other preferences on this like rsync and grsync which is at the heart of many apps and scripts.

sharxbyte,
There are several backup apps avaliable. The only one I have used is PING. It's a bootable CD so it's operating system agnostic. Go to http://ping.windowsdream.com/ and check it out. I've used it to backup and restore windows and Ubuntu installs but only to a second harddrive, I couldn't get the network setup to see my shares and I didn't try direct to CD. The instruction are good but are geared toward windows users especially how to backup to a network share.
