Thanks, Loren and Joel.

I'm waiting now for my "cp * -rfv /mnt/backup" command to finish.

This will be good insurance in case I miss something,

On  a side note, System Rescue CD is doing the raw file copy *way*
better than any of my BartPE cds.  Those kept crapping out b/c of NT
permissions, which the BartPE disks see as valid...

backup without having to use space for the entire partition size.
Using gzip  and dd this is possible.

dd if=/dev/partitiontobackup of=- | gzip > partimagename.gz

Hope that helps...
