As I've said in other forums. I think any attempt at providing the average user with an intuitive backup solution as a core feature is a step in the right direction. In my mind, the second most important admin policy(behind security issues like the firewall) someone has to face when admining their own little box is a reasonable data backup policy. I think it would be a mighty good thing for there to be a reasonably intuitive backup tool in place in Fedora Core, to help end-user hobbyists who are admining their own machines. Hell I'd even go so far as telling people about it via the graphical 'adverts' in the installer and then again when first boot runs to encourage them to use the backup tool as soon as possible to implement a backup scheme. Fedora Core of course can't force people to follow good backup policy (nor security policy). But I think there is room here to have Core suggest and encourage users to think about backups by providing a reasonably intuitive way to interact with a backup tool. Mondo stands on its own merits as a comprehensive recovery solution for skilled users. But I would like to see some effort made to have Fedora Core encourage even the mundane users to setup some backup scheme, whether the tool of choice is Mondo or some other not so obvious choice.

Couldn't agree more.
Would it be possible to create a system that identifies files that are either, not part of an rpm, or have been modified since being installed. That way, you would backup all the config files that you edited (smb.conf etc...) and not the ones that are still using the system default.

Such as any prelinked binary or shared lib? :-)

But based on paths: so for example:
/etc (unmanaged or modified) /usr/local (unmanaged or modified)
no one should be putting data in /usr anyway.
if they backup prelinked files it's their punishment, then :)
