Restore Backup Server

[Conor_M]

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to accomplish setting up a cross-platform backup server (http://lifehacker.com/362062/create-your-own-cross+platform-backup-server) with Restore. I have tried installing via the live CD but on one of my machines I received a "Failed to create ext3 partition" (yes, I set the mount point correctly when I made the partition manually) but when I tried to use the 'Guided, use entire disk' option I received the Failed to create ext3 partition error again. The guide on Lifehacker mentions that you can install the restore packages on top of an existing Ubuntu install, but the link to the supposed packages are broken. I cannot find a mirror for the life of me, I was wondering if there was a small chance someone here knew where a mirror would be.
