        KickStart is more for automated installing on a fresh machine,
not realy backing it up.  Basically everything you specify with the
GUI installer you can just write up a kickstart config and it'll
automagically run the install without prompting a hyooman for any
information.  More the thing you'd use to mass produce several
identical boxen than back them up.
