Thanks. I thought I had the ppa base covered with BackInTime, but I don't see it there now. Aptik sounds like a great utility, but it seems to have been withdrawn. No files on Launchpad, or in the repositories, apt-get doesn't find it, and the links at the teejeetech site are dead.
Ah yes. Here's how to back up ppas with backintime. It's not in the interface:
I'm finding backintime very good. Not quite a replacement for all of systemback's functions, but very good and very easy to use. Not sure if it's been discussed here.

How to backup Debian/Ubuntu Package selection?
There is a user-callback example which will backup all package selections, sources and repository keys which are necessary to reinstall exactly the same packages again. It will even backup whether a package was installed manually or automatically because of dependencies.
Download the script, copy it to ~/.config/backintime/user-callback and make it executable with chmod 755 ~/.config/backintime/user-callback
It will run every time a new snapshot is taken. Make sure to include ~/.apt-backup.
