I'm using PowerQuest's DriveImage 2.0, and am VERY impressed with it so far.
It creates an entire hard disk image, so you can re-install your entire hard
disk in about 20 minutes... plus it supports ext2 partitions!  It also has a
feature to back up to Zip drives in particular.  I would highly recommend
this package!
