Copy partitions on your system with Partimage
Partimage is a unique open source rescue tool in that it can be used as an installed application or as a stand alone rescue tool with SystemRescueCD. So if whether your system is working or not, Partimage might be able to save you. But what does Partimage do? Partimage saves partions (in various formats) to a disk image. These images can be saved either to the local machine (and then placed on CD or a connected drive) or to a network Partimage server. And conversely, a machine can be restored with that image from the Partimage server. This also works well to image a machine and then install that same image on multiple machines.
In this article I am going to show you how to tackle the basics with Partimage – backing up a system to a local file. In later articles I will demonstrate recovering as well as backing up and restoring across a network. Once you know how to use Partimage, you will have an excellent disaster recovery tool (as well as an imaging tool).
