back about 5 days from today?
Thank you be so kind to helping me out.

There is in YAST / System /System Restoration.
However, you have to manually make a backup of your system before
running into a problem. It does not do automatic backups for you.

As you without any doubt went to YAST / System /System Restoration as
foresthill suggested, you may have seen YAST /System /System Backup.
I may be stupid, but that looks to me as the other one of the twins.

Not at this point. Unless you do a backup now and wait 5 days. Then you
can go 5 days back in time, but not at present.

That’s a bit confusing
How does deleting your user and recreating it equate to rolling your
system back 5 days similar to how winows restore would?
It would be completely starting afresh with your user account rather
than ‘rolling back’
If it’s your own user account you like to refresh why not just use
Yast’s System Backup tool to create a backup of your /home/username
directory then use Yast’s System Restore to go back to that point five
days later
Although why anyone would want to keep going back five days I don’t
know, you could keep losing things you’d spent time setting up as well
as personal files

It may be better to tell us what your problem is instead of asking for
a solution ‘like windows’. I for myself do not even know what works
‘like windows’ and I am not willing to by any windows software to find
out what solution it has, to find out what problem you have. Are you
still with me?

Windows restore is a utility that lets you ‘roll back’ windows to a
previously created ‘restore point’
It’s great, I especially like the way there are many viruses it
automatically restores after antivirus software has tried removing them

Well then use YaST Backup to make a ‘restore point’ and use YaST System
Restoration when need arives.
And this is not for viruses as there are none, but this a normal way to
backup data for the event of data loss by whatever reason (disk broken
may be the worst and most illustrating).
There are also al lot of other ways to make backups (and of course
eventual restores). Look in e.g. Google for ‘Linux backup’ or ‘suse
backup’. I use a version of rsnapshot (search for it), it is a
adaptable and backup-space friendly shell wrapper that uses rsync. You
might also start a thread in the ‘Looking for Something’ subforum of
this Forums. Or use the search function of this Forums, I bet more
people asked for advise about backup/restore software.
But one important thing. Do not go for any method until you know why
you want a backup, what you will be able to restore in an event and
where you want to put those backups (think of space).
And when you decided for a product (or your own usage of tools), not
only make backups, but also try a restore. Testing is important.

I believe that Ecky is asking after a OpenSuse equivalent of the WinXP
System Restore, where the Os takes regular copies of important system
files (like the registry) and then should you meet a problem you can opt
to go back to a particular point in time for those configuation files.
OpenSuse does not (to my knowledge) have this feature. The backup
mechanism can include important configuation files but is not created to
specicially back them up.
If you are looking for this feature then you can use the backup program
to backup /etc and /home, if you do this regularly enough you will be
able to select a point in time to restore to.
OpenSuse is not as vulnerable to system configuration issues as Windows
appears to be. It might just be a case of being prudent to back up
things just prior to updating/installing things…?

I wasn’t asking after something similar to xp system restore mate, the
original poster was
The xp machines here have system restore removed cos in my opinion it’s
rubbish
I use ghost for windows restores and a combination of clonezilla and
kbackup for the linux machines, though I’m planning on having a play
with rsync for keeping incremental backups of everyone’s important stuff
on the nice new terabyte drive I put in this over the weekend
Apologies if I caused any confusion
