I have thought about the old fashioned dump/restore; IDK if that would be good for modern use or not. My system isn't really that big. My allotted size is 30 Gig, and it's not full. There's dar and xar and fsarchiver. There's backing up with btrfs too. > > I am thinking about back ups of the whole system and rpms I have installed.

I just want to save my rpms and not have to download all from scratch. IDK if dar or dump would backup things like /sys or other system directories. I have created dump backups but not really restored from scratch. Have a look at duplicity, it works well. I use it to back from to my file server. You can use it to run frequently, I run it every hour. That provides Mac like time machine features.
