If you look, you'll find one or more posts here in KFN where I inquired as to opinions of backup solutions. Well, today, I've settled on the solution that I am very satisfied with.
I came back to Clonezilla today, and downloaded the latest LiveCD .iso (1.2.6-40). I have a Seagate Passport 500GB USB HD. Clonezilla does a drive-to-drive 'clone' and works with ext4 and Grub2. I selected my internal 120GB HD as the 'source' and the Seagate Passport 500GB USB HD as the 'target.' Worked like a champ. When it finished, I rebooted and selected the Seagate Passport 500GB HD as the boot device to 'test' the resulting clone. Works perfectly!
Removed the other utilities I had been using - Lucky Backup and Remastersys - as I'll stick with Clonezilla. So much easier to make a clone of my entire HD.
