Anne, I'm not sure if you're the one who started this thread or not, but if you are looking for a way to backup an entire partition (Linux or Windows, Novell), you might want to check out InstantRecovery from NovaStor Corporation: http://www.no-panic.com/recovery/irecover.html It's not free, but is pretty cheap (around $40 US). It basically works like Ghost and makes an image of the entire drive or individual partitions. It will create the image on bootable CD and CD/RW media, too. And best of all, it actually is based on Linux (at least version 3.1-the version I have is).
