Hello,

I Intent to Package Partion Image.

Description: Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX uility which saves partitions
in the ext2fs (the linux standard), ReiserFS (a new journalized and powerful
file system) or FAT16/32 (DOS  Windows file systems) file system format to
an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to
save disk space, and splitted into multiple files to be copied on amovibles
floppies (ZIP for example), ...

  Dumb question: what's the distinction between this program and dd?  I
assume there is one, or it wouldn't mention specific partition formats..

Well, that's probably why he gave the URL, so that people with questions like
this could go the web site and find out answers to questions like this.

It says on the homepage:
   Partition Image only copy used data of the partition. Then, all free
   blocks are not written in the image file, in order to be faster, and to
   make small image files. (the dd command copy all the partition, even
   unused datas).

*sigh*

   First of all, that wasn't meant to be a hostile question, and I'm sorry
 if it came off that way.  I did, in fact, miss the URL, but having gone there
 and looked at it, my question is still (mostly) the same.  It looks like
 this utility is either a dd clone or a tar clone, and I'm wondering what
 the difference is between it and those programs.

You can consider it like a front-end easy to use with some
extra features. See home page for screenshot and more details:
