Systemback seems a bit flaky to me, it also doesn't seem to relay enough(any?) errors to the user: I created a restore point today with a few extra home folders included. The whole thing apparently finished error free, only when I double checked the backup there were tons of files missing. Even if it's down to user error, I NEED TO KNOW!
Filed a bug on Launchpad, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

On the subject matter of my previous post the Dev' was kind enough to reply:[/size]The restore points contains only the configuration files. This means, there is a file size limit (8 MiB), all other files are excluded. The Systemback is a system backup and restore application, not a general data backup software. The personal data backup are not allowed because the high risk of data loss (when you performs a system restoration).If you want to backup your personal documents, videos, music ..., just use the Déjà Dup (for example).That's fair enough I guess. However, maybe I'm displaying my arrogance here but I still think that completing an operation without relaying errors to the end user is fundamentally wrong.

I voted for systemback as I have used it for a long time no matter what distribution it's one of the 1st installs. I love how I can make .iso of my system that includes personal files. Or without to give to someone else to install.

How do you get Systemback to save personal files? I include a folder holding a list of wallpapers, and it never shows up when I use it to build someone else's computer.

On the "Live System Create" screen, there is a Options tickbox [ ] "Include the user data files"

Ok. I've only used the selective include without checking this box. Does checking this box activate the selective include/exclude? Or does checking this box include all user data files?
Maybe the include/exclude is just for restore points.

I have not tried this but, you should be able to include the wallpapers without ticking the "Include the user data files", by adding the wallpapers to
Code:

@torreydale
Not sure to be honest, I backup my home & data separately on a more frequent basis..
I only use Systemback when I'm doing something significant, and potentially could break something...
