information I can gleam from it that I missed the first time.#

TrueImage is a product made by Acronis, it's intended for Windows but
they boot CD can also handle Reiserfs partitions. It makes an exact
copy/image of a partition. It's not free, or at least you should pay for
it. I remember you once talked about a program called PartImage, I never
tried it but the name sounds similar.
