Backup Complete Hard Drive

[Rei Shinozuka]

for bootable partitions, i like booting up into sysrescuecd 
(http://www.sysresccd.org) , mounting an external usb drive and then 
using partimage to back up the image of the original partition to the 
external drive.  i have replaced boot disks using this method.  i also 
used mondo, and that works also, though when i used it (3-4 years ago) 
it took a little configuring to get just right.
