I have used partimage to save/restore NTFS (using a network server) and it 
went very well.  But it was a freshly installed system.  For NTFSes that 
"have been around" the experimental characteristic might apply :-)

partimaged is daemon that starts a partimage server (no config required).

Then boot with SUSE CD1 in rescue mode
set up networking "ifconfig eth0 IP"
mount a NFS export where you have partimage
run partimage
save partition or restore

The partitions must be the same exact size.
