    This involve mind and brain, you brainless pussy!!!

    Anyone driving a vehicle made by someone other than themself is a pussy
    also. If you don't have the basic machinist skills to create an engine and
    a transmission, you don't need to be using them.

    Anyone that can't then put that engine and tranny on a frame they have
    built from steel they have created in a backyard blast furnace from some
    iron ore, coke, and limestone, they don't need to have a vehicle.

    That was uncalled for.

    And by the way, I wrote my own. And it is only one
    of many methods. There are GUI programs too, such
    as Borg.

    Borg is the engine, Vorta, Pika Backup and Bagpag are the GUIs.



    I have written my own in Windows too.

    Was that your quote or are you quoting someone else? If yours, you
    forgot to add social media to the list.

    It's mine and was created in 1995 and made its debut in
    24hoursupport.helpdesk back when it was one of the most active and
    interesting groups on Usenet.

    If you are an experienced Linux user, just dd everything to backup and
    restore any partition. Or one can just backup data in any partition
    using tar and 7z.
