To: ILUG-C <ilugc@ae.iitm.ac.in> Hi, I have a linux installation on a physical machine. The filesystem has been created on 320GB of disk. I want to create a image of it and create a copy of the system. How can I do that, the second disk I have is 80 GB. I have tried partimage, it backs up only the used space, however when recreating, it requires the original space. Is there any other way.
