Partimage
Partimage is a
console based utility which stores partitions to a image file
providing that the filesystem in use is supported. Most Linux and
Windows filesystems are
supported. The image can be compressed with gzip or bzip2 to save disk
space. Images can be split into multiple files spanning CDs or DVDs.
The partition can be restored if there is a problem on the
partition (file system error, virus, error in data, ...), from the
image file. This software is commonly used to install the same image to
multiple computers that have identical hardware over a
network.
Partimage will only copy data from the used portions of the
partition.
For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image
file. Partimage also works for large, very full partitions. For
example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to
400MB.
