You can do this way, but ideally your file system should be unmounted (boot
from
a live CD/DVD).

I, personally, use BackupPC for /home and partimage for the file system (/
and /boot).

Would someone please tell how to use partimage to backup whole fedora 10 system 
in detail?

rpm -qa | grep partimage
partimage-0.6.7-5.fc10.i386

I also downloaded systemrescuecd and burned it.
But can't use it to backup whole fedora 10 system(actually I don't know how to 
use it)
Booting this cd can't find graphical option.

fdisk -l

I am trying to backup /dev/sda6 partition.
Is it necessary to backup the /proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt, 
directory to be backed up?

Is it possible to backup /dev/sda6 partition excluding these directory(/proc , 
/sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt,) with partimage or systemrescuecd?

If I copy the whole /dev/sda6 partition in a portable hard disk(250GB),then
after reinstalling minimum fedora 10 and copy-paste that /dev/sda6 from the 
portable hard disk to the newly installed fedora 10's root (/) directory ,will 
it work ?

In serious trouble.
Someone please tell how to backup easily as I don't have any live cd.

df -h
/dev/sda6              21G  7.8G   12G  41% /
tmpfs                 501M   76K  501M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda5              29G  6.4G   22G  23% /media/disk
/dev/sda1              15G  3.2G   12G  22% /media/disk-1
/dev/sda7             8.8G  1.9G  6.6G  22% /media/disk-2


Thanks.
