Well I recommended clonezilla before. It is a disk imaging app. It can
image your whole drive to files, a network, whatever. You can then
restore the whole partition later, with everything exactly as it was.
With a little work, you can mount a clonezilla image under Linux to get
files off of it. I think its the best tool for being able to do full
snapshot and restore, disaster recovery type stuff. For incremental
backups of data over time once your system is running, there are better
tools like "back in time".

Recently Sean notified me that IBM has certified Linux in a way that I
can still be "complaint" while running Ubuntu ( also was able to run
the one VB app I need under WINE... finally ).
Thus I want to go back to Linux ( was forced off by the "PGP desktop"
mandate ) so logically I want to back up all my files and install Linux.
But is there a backup and restore method that works for both Windows
XP and Linux? That is I would need to selectively restore files under
Linux but also be able to do a full Windows restore.
Unlike tar and other Unix solutions I would like an ability to go back
if something does not work out. That is to say restore Windows XP (
just in case, some insurance )
So has anyone been in this situation and can share some constructive
suggestions. Please technical responses ONLY.
