I'm in the process of backing up my laptop and i've come to a little
problem. i want to backup the entire drive, not just a partition. i've
tried dump/restore, but it only backs up partitions and doesnt seem
fat32 friendly (i dualboot my laptop with gentoo and win2k).

i'm trying dd, but the only way i can get it to compress is to pipe it
to gzip, but this still seems like i'm jumping through hoops.

has anyone done this before? i plan to back up the drive to a file on a
locally mounted nfs share, so easy restore would be a plus. any ideas or
personal experiences are greatly appreciated.
