Subject: best gpl'd norton ghost-like solution?


Hi,

I'm looking into rolling out a few RH9 machine and need to be able to make rock-solid 
disk images of them in a flexible manner such that I can burn the results out to 
multiple CDs or store them on harddrives.  I would like this to work how Norton Ghost 
does for Windows machines, in that the application would have to recognize the files 
systems (so that I wouldn't get a 10GB image for a 10GB drive that only has 1.5GB 
used, e.g.) and allow me to complete the whole process w/ minimal messing around.

I'm currently looking at <a href=www.partimage.org>partimage</a> as a solution, but 
I'm finding it rather cumbersome to install, especially since I'd like to make these 
backup images over the network and the only solution they provide is to install this 
partimaged server, which I'd rather not do, b/c I see it as an unecessary complication.

I've also examined the <a href=www.systemrescuecd.org>systemrescuecd</a> as a solution 
for booting the machines up w/ a pretty functional version of Linux in a ramdisk, so 
I'd like to continue w/ that approach.

So, after all the above description, what do you all use to handle your image backup 
procedures (especially when you do not have adequate harddrive space on the machine to 
be backed up)?

Thanks,

John Lawler
