When cloning windows systems, Norton Ghost can modify the magic numbers associated with your NT install that are supposed to be unique (a plain disk image can't do this) as well as a few other things (people tout "ghostwalker" which is essentially a loopback mount of the fielsystem, but anyway). However, on UNIX, I can't think of anything a specialized program would offer over dd and netcat :)
