Thanks, but I thinking of something along the lines of Norton Ghost for Windows. It makes a complete byte by byte image copy of the full partition. When you restore, you get that copied back over what you have. So you are right back to where you started from, regardless of anything that happened in between. I just need to find a tool like that for SuSe Linux.
Thanks, Greg W
Sorry, linux software generally works. Ghost was finally laid to rest and Symantec has bought Drive Image (and everything else) from Powerquest. Unfortunately, Drive Image 7.0 doesn't work much better than Ghost did. Bare metal restore is a myth - get used to it. Learn to use dar, tar, or one of the dozens of linux backup utilities.
