backing up my linux system

[michaelweaver]

What would anyone suggest for backing up my Linux system which is
accessible with either Speakup or Orca?
I know when I was using Ubuntu 6 I tried using Sbackup only I could not
get past the first screen because speech stopped and I do not know if
this has improved with the latest versions of Orca although there are
command lines for the application.
Someone on the Ubuntu UK list suggested it and also suggested Ubackup.
