Hi Dave, If you used it before, you muct know what I am talking about. It did not let me backup the swap partition.
If I start with a blank disk, how would the restore work with a swap??

I found the following and wonder if any has any luck with it? Seems like ghost for linux... www.partimage.org Thanks, Richard I've used that tool. It works pretty well. It can scripted from the command line, which is nice. The only thing it's missing relative to Ghost is that it doesn't have a setting for 'entire disk' you have to do each partition separately. It's not a big deal, just a convenience thing. Another nice thing about partimage is that it's available on a number of rescue CD distributions Check sourceforge, I think one of them is called 'Insert rescue CD' (may be insrt or some other spelling) I don't have any experience with the other methods suggested here. Personally, I like having drive image of my critical systems because I know I can boot from a rescue CD, mount the device with the image and get running from bare metal in less than an hour with absolutely no fuss. It doesn't replace routine backups, but it makes the recovery process easier for non-linux-nerds like me.
