Drive Image Software

Can anyone point me to a drive imaging software package such as Drive Image or something like that which runs on Gentoo. I am looking to image my current install so I can screw areound with 1.4 but be able to re-image when necessary if things go bad

.

Thanks

Jeff

Well,
you can't image a mounted drive. so there's no point looking for imaging proggie that runs on gentoo if you want to image your gentoo / partition.
i have a cd rescue-utility i downloaded a while ago. it has all the network stuff, partimage and a lot more stuff.
no idea what it is called though, or where i got it from. a google search will find you some options.

As french tony suggested, you can use partimage. Their download page also includes images for floppy disks and and images for el-torito bootable cds.

The rescue cd mentioned by french tony is called rip - recovery is possible, and can be found here.

You could always use the Gentoo install CD and tar+[NFS/SMB] your root filesystem over a network...
