[Ubuntu PA] Disk Imaging Solutions

[silvertip257]

I've also read up (briefly) on G4L (Ghost 4 Linux) - I believe it also
supports disk to disk w/o use of a network - I actually think Clonezilla has
the same functionality by the way.
^^^ well I'm wrong, this is another network based imaging solution

The actual server instance that uses the network is DRBL w/ the Clonezilla
plugin (if we can call it that).  Almost all of them use some instance of
PartImage, so I've read.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
I believe you're on the right track choosing PartImage instead of DD - bit
by bit might be rather irritating!!!  Not to mention tedious and time
consuming.

PS:  My opinion (after having to do many stupid disk to disk copies) is that
there is only one way to do a PC clone - via a network.  :P  Good luck;
after that summer I hated jumpers, IDE cables, and screws.
