It is handy to drop a one-off image on some network storage (ssh, nfs, 
windows share) as a backup before doing anything major to a machine even 
if you don't do any large-scale cloning and the 'alternative' 
ubuntu-based version stays fairly current with hardware drivers so it 
works on most machines.  But there might be better tools if that is your 
only need or if you need a different style of resizing.
