if you want a recovery disk you can use boot to fix issues, then that is possible from any linux based live disk.
If you want a backup feature, then there are several options, a vague google search should point you to many options, but a few are listed at http://www.junauza.com/2009/01/7-best-freeopen-source-backup-software.html
you could take a look at bolting NILFS into the distro you are using:
http://www.nilfs.org/en/
Its a constantly journalling filesystem, so lets you restore files you have accidentally deleted.
You talk about this kind of system restore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Restore ?
First hit on Google says NO :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/is-there-a-system-restore-for-linux-what-do-you-do-when-the-system-act-badly-704829/
There is other tools for backups such as dump / restore etc.
Dude, that's plain *WRONG*
A system restore in linux is as easy as:
Create "mount point":
Restore:
You just need to do that from a livecd and you are ready to go with a *real* "mount point" working.
That's obviously "killing flies with bazookas" but it *is* a system restore
From there you can think of different solutions to your needs.

You got me wrong there, I did not say that there is no system restore in Linux. I did say that there is no system restore that is like the one in Windows in Linux. (And I absolutely not saying that this is something that is missing in Linux or that the Windows system restore is better in any way). Sorry for that.
My apologies, I was rude.
Sorry for that
