Hi all,

 Sorry for the on-topic post.  ;-)

 Anyone here played around with disk imaging tools which are
filesystem aware?  Like partimage[1] and Clonezilla[2]?  I'm
especially interested in experience with FAT and NTFS partitions.
'nix is very well-behaved in this area, so an exact disk image often
isn't needed anyway.  Just mount the partition and run rsync, tar, or
just "cp -a".  But restoring a 'doze system is such a mess ("like
kicking dead whales down the  beach") that a tool which exists outside
the OS is really appealing to me.
