Okay, okay, okay.... just don't let him anywhere NEAR my place... :-)

Honestly, do you know which filesystems Mondo Rescue supports?

Ghost costs dinero.  Check out Mondo Rescue: http://www.mondorescue.com/

Hugo (the Mondo developer) did a demo for us here where he brought in
his actual personal workstation, used Mondo to back it up onto CD (it
also works with tape), and typed "rm -rf /".  Naturally the crowd went
wild over actually seeing someone purposefully type that command.  But
he let it run until the OS destroyed itself, then he just popped in the
first CD in his restore set, hit the reset switch and within 30 minutes
he had his entire disk back exactly as it was.  He eats his own dogfood
in this manner several times a week.  Mondo is well tested.
