Full system tape backup

[Benjamin Minshall]

Greetings:

Does Linux have a utility to do a full system backup similar to
comercial Unices' mksysb?  For those not familiar with the command,
mksysb does a backup of everything on the machine including drive
structures, partition tables and all of the included data.  It records
this system 'image' to a bootable SCSI tape.  In an extreme server
faliure, one then only has to pop the tape in and reboot and the system
will completly rebuild.  Does Linux have a program like this, or is
there a good way to do such a thing?  Thanks

-Ben
