    Does Lubuntu come with a System Restore equivalent

    I'm new to Linux, so I'm curious as to whether or not Lubuntu comes with an equivalent of System Restore. I use XP at the moment, and have had to use System Restore in the past.

    Simple answer: No.

    There are ways, however, to make a straightforward clone of the operating system partition once you have it running as you want, which you can then restore if necessary.

    Have a look at remastersys or clonezilla.

    There is no equivalent to Windows system restore in Linux that I know of but there is different types of backup software . I have just learned to pay closer attention to what I am doing with Linux. I use Ubuntu One to sync my home folder and simply download them for each new Ubuntu installation.

    From what I understand Windows' System Restore is just that. It restores the system but not your data.

    In my opinion, if you are concerned about data loss you should be keeping your /home on a separate partition that way no matter how the system might "break" at least all your data is safe. I keep my /home on a separate drive entirely.

    Win restore doesn't affect data at all just resets any system or software changes since the restore from date picked.
