Equivalent to System restore?

How about this: Systemback ??

Not a (bootable) ISO, so not installable. Only backup and restore like Clonezilla, which I love to use.
(Btw. Clonezilla can do a little more. For instance replace a system to another partition in the same pc.)
This 'systemback' is like backup and restore Windows began to use in Windows ME, so around 2000.
Many restore-points also not working correct then (I hated the thing in Windows), but that can improve of course.

No more a livecd/dvd/pendrive of your own system at the moment. Not in a Virtual machine testing your system.  No install of 'your own system on another pc with different architecture' I think... which wás possible some months ago... Very nasty for the user of Linux in my opinion.
O.. yes it can be done, but not simple with one or two clicks.
Constructors can help but not in the 'service-friendly' way.

Thanks for the replies ... her being a Luddite means making iso's etc and using those to restore from is out of the question, we live at best 40 mins drive apart and it's not something that is easy for her to cope with over the phone,  Systemback is the go, looking into how to automate that, this has happened again, the unit is now running 2.2, the power plug is setup so it cannot be pulled out and a power out has messed it up, managed to get it running again but it may have a hardware fault now as it has gone bad again and even with the vars.sh system file edit "runfsck=yes" the system hangs on boot, gunna give her another laptop and see whats going on with it later.
