if you want to do a backup of your entire HD why not using the MSDOS
program GHOST ?
I think that it supports linux File Systems. and since it copy every bit on
your HD then it will not be a problem to recover the info.
I recently installed a new card called Magic Card that supports linux quit
well.
If you want some more info then pls replay me.
