Look at the 'mount' Man page, specifically the section on "The Loop

Actually following chains of links from
http://www.cs.montana.edu/~andrew.hamilton/ is leading in potentially useful
directions.
As to "[Update]", pondering this thread and my tread about "back up methods"
has lead to a preliminary goal re-specification.
Partition images may be overkill. It looks like:
/home
/var/cache/apt/archives/
a yet undefined subset of /usr
will actually be more useful.
Thanks all.
If Linux supports dump & restore, that might be a viable way to read all
the data per-partition, and then you could restore it all to the same
destination.
I just did a quick web search. The first couple of hits were very
interesting. I'll have to read more. Thank you.
