[QCLUG] Creating an image of a hard drive

[Robert Jones]

I'm not sure if all of you know about "partimage" or not.  It can be 
installed via "synaptic" from Ubuntu/Kubuntu.  I have been wanting to 
make an image of my "/" and after some searching came up with 
"partimage".  To make an image of the "/" I had to run "partimage" from 
the Ubuntu live CD.  It took a little time to figure out why I kept 
getting errors but I found http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage 
and PartImage home page at 
http://www.partimage.org/Partimage-manual_Usage and these made it very 
simple.  The only thing that was causing me problems is that when you 
enter the destination path you must add a file name to the end of it. I 
just thought some of you may want to hear about it.

Since I haven't had to restore the "/" yet I don't know if this part of 
it works or not but the saving routine goes very fast and seems to do a 
good job.

Have A Great Day
