Hmmm, Just had a look at the website.  They say it supports all the
"popular" OS's.  For some reason Linux doesn't appear on the list
though.

I think you would need specific support for each FS (Reiser in this
case) particularly when migrating to a larger HD, as you'd want to
adjust partition sizes olong the way.  Ghost handles this for ext2, but
I don't think it sees any of the journalled FS's.

Partimage may be the only solution, although as said previously, my
cursory tryout was unsuccessful.  As I have Ghost, I was probably not
motivated enough to make it work.
