Ghost-like software for Gentoo

Are there any backup utilities like Ghost for Gentoo? I want to back up my install to CD, but can't find anything that seems to do the trick.

partimage for "clever" backing up seperate filesystems
dd for "not so clever" backing up whole hard disks (or parts of it) (with not so clever i mean: empty space on your filesystem gets in your image too, and use special options like notrunk and noerror to handle bad blocks)

or you could also cp -ax all the contents of each partition offcourse
