Application: PING- Partimage Is Not Ghost
What it is:
PING is a live Linux ISO, based on the excellent Linux From Scratch
(LFS) documentation. It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated
into a PXE / RIS environment.
Several tools have been added and written, so to make this ISO the
perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions, an easy way. It
sounds like Symantec Ghost(tm), but has even better features, and is
totally free.
Features:
* Probably the best available Linux toolbox for rescuing a system;
* Backup and Restore partitions or files locally or to the network
(MS Network Shared directory, NFS, FTP or SSHFS);
* Backup and Restore the BIOS data as well;
* Either burn a bootable CD / DVD, either integrate within a PXE /
RIS environment;
* Possibility to Blank local admin's password;
* Create your own restoration bootable DVD;
* Partition and Format a disk before installing Windows (so to
make sure your unattended Windows installation will happen on the
right partition);
