I have seen messages reporting the *complete* reconstruction of failed SuSE systems (disk crash) achieved automagically via dar.
Also I have seen the cloning of installs via dar onto identical systems.
If you want disaster recovery type backup you will need to buy something like BackupEdge, it even supports backup to DVD's, $99 for home use.

I use mondo rescue for disaster recovery, and works fine. I think there's an rpm in suse-projects apt repository, you can downloaded directly from an ftp mirror if you don't use apt.
Doesn't matter wich one you choose, ALWAYS test the backup archives BEFORE doom's day, if you can, try a full restore (if you have an spare system for example)

For anyone interested, here is a review of mondo http://servers.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/06/08/1410213&tid=29&tid=42 And the files weren't from suse projects, but from suser lrupp, get mondo and mindi http://mirrors.uol.com.br/pub/suse/people/lrupp/ CI.-
