I've just read the G4u documentation.
Looks good !
I would only be doing a local backup to another partition or HDD, not to an
FTP server.
It seems that if you "upload" to FTP, you create an image.
But if you copydisk or copypart, it wipes the target disk/partition with a
mirror of the source.
It doesnt create an image file ?
How can you create a compressed image of a disk or partition locally ?
And how do you then deploy that image from a local source (eg DVD) ?
Any help appreciated :-)

Subject: Re: [GPCG_TALK] Disk cloning quesiton
when using acronis true image to clone a complete drive (eg with
winxp+linux+grub), for some reason the copy won't boot (most of the time)
using grub. One one occasion it did, on two others, had to re-write grub
to
the disk.
Anyone have any experience with this.
Is there a linux program to do the cloning which won't cause this
problem.
Absolutely ... g4u

I have used this a lot, and it has been
flawless. Just download and burn yourself
a copy of the live CD. Then boot up into
it, and there is a simple command line for
copying the partition/disk to another HDD,
eg. copydisk wd0 wd1
