Joe~ Thanks for the reply. I was reading the information on the system rescue site (from your last reply), and I think this could work fine. I'm reading through the rest of the documentation to see how to use this to perform backups. I did notice that SystemRescueCd is currently using a 2.4 kernel. Have you seen any hiccups using this with a much more current kernel release? (Mine is 2.6.12-r9)

There's really not much use for installing partimage on Gentoo since partimage cannot backup or restore mounted file systems. Unless you want to setup a partimage server for other pc's to use, or backup partitions from other operating systems while running Gentoo. SystemRescueCd is an iso file, you use it to burn a bootable cd to perform misc tasks on your pc. Basically, for partimage use... you boot from the cd, mount a partition to write the backup images to and run partimage.
