It depend what system restore functionality you are looking for.
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.html0 -
Hi,
you could take a look at bolting NILFS into the distro you are using:

Its a constantly journalling filesystem, so lets you restore files you have accidentally deleted.0 -
ok Thank you for giving idea0

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.0 -

Dude, that's plain *WRONG*
A system restore in linux is as easy as:
Create "mount point":tar cvvf backup.tar /
Restore:tar xvf backup.tar
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.0 -
Windows restore really doesn't work, in my experience. The only way to "restore" a system, is to have a bit image backup of the system drive. That will allow you to restore the OS to a known-good-image, be it Windows or Linux.0
