Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool - Lemmy.world

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

Borg backup. You should be able to install it on your Live session, then restore to the target mount point.

Are you serious? It actually does that? So you have a usb stick with the live environment, then you boot into that environment, then from there you install borg, plug in the other stick that has the back then just restore onto the internal drive and restart? Is that correct?

Technically you are able to to do with any live environment and backup data, so the answer would be “yes”.
