[NTLUG:Discuss] Full system backup-restore for Desktop PC

[Bradley's List Address]

I thought you guys might have a suggestion.
I have an install of Ubuntu that I have gotten just where I want it before
passing it off to my 8 yr old daughter.
I would like to make an image that I can use to restore to a blank hard
drive in case it gets hosed.
I tried Mondo but couldn't make it work.
I was looking for something "Norton Ghostish"
What do you think is the simplest way to accomplish this?

Thanks for your time.

Bradley
