After using an Ubuntu virtual machine for a while, I think I am ready to get a real, physical machine and use Ubuntu on it.Since I am still relatively new to the Linux world, is there a reliable solution for making regular backups of files and settings for my system (maybe similar to Apple's Time Machine?) that I can rely upon when, e.g. my hard drive fails, or something bad happens?
Straightforward system and file backup/restore for Linux?

You could give TimeVault or FlyBack a try.I am a Gentoo user myself, so I haven't really tried these, but they seem like they are pretty straight-forward.TimeVault does not seem to work correctly under Lucid, but only due to an incompatibility with python 2.6. Let me know if this helps or if you need further information.
