Hi, I want to create an image of my Linux system (much like I use Norton Ghost to create a basic image of my Windows system) partially to insure against problems, partially so I can (occasionally) trash it and try something else? Can ghost do this, if not what can? Also, to do it faster, I tend to copy a whole partition to another one (quicker than across my network) but Linux (at least on my system) is composed of three partitions: boot, swap & '/' so I guess have to do a whole disk image which means I can't (easily) do that to a local disk ... any ideas?
