I've never used it myself, but I read an article somewhere about it and seems that mondorescue can do that: http://www.mondorescue.org/about.shtml However, I'm not sure about its portage status: it seems that all the versions are masked (for x86 at least). The relevant entry in package.mask says "has security issues and will be removed from portage due to upstream behaviour, see bug #106497" but that comment is rather old (more than one year) and it's still in portage. Furthermore, the mondorescue home page shows many gentoo-related downloads. Maybe there's someone else using it that hopefully can give you more detailed information. -- [email protected] mailing list
