Bob, this is great info. Thank you. I have one question, though... I've
wanted to backup in the past by copying partitions, but found little
obvious documentation on it. Is this something done with a basic tool
like dd?

As for whether to copy partition images or just copy the files, there
are several considerations.
- full partition copy has higher data rate -- backing up file by file
requires lots of seeks on the source drive, and restoring
file by file requires lots of seeks on the destination drive.
If a partition is nearly full, full partition copy will be faster.
