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.

I > assume there is one, or it wouldn't mention specific partition formats.. 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* Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
