PING
 PING (Partimage Is
Not Ghost) is a free, open source distribution that
offers similar functionality to Symantec Ghost. It backs up
and restores (clones) a hard disk. It is a live Linux ISO, which is
based on
the popular Linux From Scratch (LFS).
PING uses PartImage,
the program which performs the backup and restore features.
PING can be booted directly from a CD/DVD, or integrated
into a Remote Installation Server (PXE/RIS).
