This program can do simple backups and syncs over a network or locally.It uses tar and rsync in the background. Mephisto Backup was made with the Java programming language. The key feature of this program is the ability to backup your system to an image and copy it to a Linux Live DVD for future restoration. The user can then take that cd and move his or her system to any PC.

Feature List:

Automatically generates a new initrd image and installs the boot loader.

Added support for Fedora 12’s new initrd tool called “Dracut”.

Minor bug fixes.

Bug Fixes.

UUID Support for drives. With the added UUID support, users will not have to modify /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.list to perform their backups. When creating a live CD, MephistoBackup will scan the existing UUID and assign the label/UUID to the disk when restoring a system.

GUI still beta. You can take a peak now.

64-bit LIVE CD.
