I'm about to re-jig my laptop which due to client needs has Linux on one
partion and winXP on another.


I'm going to back the whole thing up to my server before starting. I was
wondering what the best technique to use is to ensure all partions, boot
thingys and secret 'ibm restore' partions all make successfully.

I really like mkcdrec for this sort of thing:

http://mkcdrec.indyramp.net/project/index.html

It can make a bootable CD/DVD of either your entire system, or any parts
thereof.  Recovery is simple -- you just boot from the CD/DVD you made and
tell it to restore.  I'm not 100% sure that it will handle the secret IBM
restore partitions but it can be jigged to do so, most of it is in shell
scripts.
