Cloning an EXT4 partition

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I want to use partition clones as part of my backup strategy, or at least
experiment with them.  I've been happy with ntfsclone for windows
partitions, and just noticed that there appear to be utilities for doing
the same with other partition type, like vfat and ext4.

Unfortunately, my first experience with partclone.ext4 (part of the
partclone package) was not good.  It persists in giving me errors with
messages that don't make sense: File too big when there's plenty of space,
for starters.

Anyone have experience with this package, or any replacement?
