I've used it for at least two years now and have only had to restore once. It was painless. I hear that ghost for unix (search for 'g4u' I believe) is also a good solution but have not tried it myself. I'm still on core 5 but it looks to me like mondo is available for core 6(?). http://mondorescue.muskokamug.org/fedora/6/
