What program can image and restore Linux partitions?
You had a couple of responces for actual partition imaging, so I'll go on
a slightly different vein.
If you were just going for backup, or transfer of a linux system to
another hard drive you can just use tar, preserve permissions, etc and tar
up the filesystem and restore to another drive.
Interesting, but this is a dual boot box. Win2K and Suse-10. So it would be
easy for me to use a program like Ghost. I have Drive Image 7.0 but I don't
trust it with Linux. Back in version 5 or 6 I discovered that while DI
would back up Linux it couldn't restore it properly, it wouldn't boot.
Maybe version 7 is better? But if Ghost works I probably have a copy on a
old System works disk.
