No, the partition layouts are pretty simple (generally a root partition of 10-30GB, plus 2-4GB swap, plus a data partition of whatever disk remains for whatever this machine is dedicated to [/var/lib/backuppc for a backup server, /var/www for a webserver, /var/lib/mysql for a MySQL server, etc]), and I get the mount points from /etc/fstab. I can do it pretty quickly (like 5 minutes or less) but your point is well taken that something to capture partition sizes and automate the restore of them might be a good addition. Years ago I worked on Mondo Rescue (http://www.mondorescue.com/) but that was in the pre-1.0 days I think and any code I contributed to it has long since been replaced. Since learning about BackupPC I no longer felt a need for Mondo (tho there might be a use for Mindi, the minimalist restore tool which is part of it).
