I've always just used dd:

dd if=/dev/sdaX of=/path/to/file.img

will copy from partition to image, where "X" is a partition number on
sda.  Then:

dd if=/path/to/file.img of=/dev/sdaX

will copy from the image to partition -  the target partition should
be the same size as the original...

There's probably a GUI out there that would do this... anyone?
