so, is using Catalyst software any better than using this command provided by archwiki:
Code:
# rsync -aAXHv --exclude='/dev/*' --exclude='/proc/*' --exclude='/sys/*' --exclude='/tmp/*' --exclude='/run/*' --exclude='/mnt/*' --exclude='/media/*' --exclude='/lost+found/' / /path/to/backup

and doing compression and stuff manually


Not sure which "Catalyst software" you are reference to. But if you refer to dev-util/catalyst. I think it is not what you looking for a backup tool. It can be thinking as way of backup for system packages. but it will not backup user data. And it will try to rebuild entire system packages.
