[CentOS] Backing up CentOS

[King, John (Greg) (LMIT-HOU)]

Since you mentioned BackupExec, I use the backup exec linux agent and it
works fine and ties into our centralized backup system for our
windows,linux and unix systems. 

I used to use Mondo Archive (I was going to provide a link but their
site is unavailable now...) to create automated cd restore images on a
weekly basis. I could then quickly recover via ISO images and then would
restore the incremental changes via backup exec. I am using another
commercial product now though for the images.
