I'm not familiar with Linux, but I'm willing to try. [Do not have AA1 yet.] I read that it comes with a recovery disk; but what about doing actual backups? Like, I install this_and_that, it works; then I put in whachamacallit, and everything breaks. But let's say I was smart and had done a backup before hand, so I don't need to go all the way to the beginning. Is this handled by making an image? [I am playing with knoppix on an old laptop at the moment, and it does something with an image to my USB drive so as to remember settings.]
Next question: can I burn these backups [images?] direct to a DVD burner? Or is it best to go to a USB drive, then I can burn to something else? I am looking at putting together a desktop with DVD burner and a fair amount of drive space, so it may be possible for me to store things there.
