QuoteBut isn't an external or 2nd drive a necessity for any backup system? Backup to main drive = loss of backup if drive catastrophically fails.An external drive is definitely not a requirement to backup. A second drive is probably recommended, but in the case of this laptop I have only one physical drive.

I don't even have any external drives to be concerned with. After getting out of the rat race, I've gone out of my way to find ways of reducing any workload even further.
@smhardesty I believe Clonezilla can be setup as you have described using Ghost across a network. Timeshift, I believe is limited to using local/usb connected drives and cannot be used across networks.
Yes 4.x series uses Time Shift... I'm sure its good too - I've made a back up just not as much yet as I did with Systemback...
I have used Clonezilla and it is a great tool, similar to Windows Norton Ghost or True Image for creating image backups of systems.

Add another voice hoping someone picks up the Systemback project. I never used any type of similar software until I ran into it with Lite. I've played with it just a little, but do have 3 restore points and I need to create a fourth now that I have upgraded to 3.8 and all is well.It's just my sort of luck to find something like Systemback that I really like, only to have it abandoned. If anyone should happen to hear of any news on Systemback, please let us all know.I just did an install of ver 4.2 on a desktop I have. I haven't even begun to explore it or tweak it to my liking. Is there something like Systemback on 4.2? If so, what is it? I'll check it out when I begin my tweaking. If not, like I said earlier, I'll try installing Systemback.
@firenice03 ,I think Redo has been unsupported since at least 2014 when I first started using it and Linux.
I'm really hoping someone picks up the Systemback project and gives it some support.
