It depend what system restore functionality you are looking for.
if you want a recovery disk you can use boot to fix issues, then that is possible from any linux based live disk.
If you want a backup feature, then there are several options, a vague google search should point you to many options, but a few are listed at http://www.junauza.com/2009/01/7-best-freeopen-source-backup-software.html
Hi,
you could take a look at bolting NILFS into the distro you are using:
Its a constantly journalling filesystem, so lets you restore files you have accidentally deleted.

You talk about this kind of system restore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Restore ?
First hit on Google says NO :

There is other tools for backups such as dump / restore etc.

Dude, that's plain *WRONG*
A system restore in linux is as easy as:
Create "mount point":
tar cvvf backup.tar /
Restore:
tar xvf backup.tar
You just need to do that from a livecd and you are ready to go with a *real* "mount point" working.
That's obviously "killing flies with bazookas" but it *is* a system restore ;)
From there you can think of different solutions to your needs.
