See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem. Personally I only back up my data in /home and any system configuration files I edit + a list of installed packages. – Panther Jul 17 '13 at 04:07

if you want to backup entire system - do what Wild Man said, if only personal dat - do what bodhi.zazen said :) blue pill or red pill (the matrix :) ) – Rodislav Moldovan Jul 17 '13 at 06:30

The best way that I have found is clonezilla, it will make a complete backup which is actually an image and restore it to your new drive. Here is a link clonezilla
