Check out partimage -- http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page -- it supports a bunch of common FS and only stores data used instead of just dumping everything ... including NTFS (probably not what your interested in, but a useful tid-bit either way).

Pretty sure thats more or less what your looking for -- it has a nice ncurses interface and everything.

i'm finding that as i want to try out new/different distro's, often i end up back where i started after not liking the new distro. is there a program similar to symantec ghost for linux? that way i could just setup my system to how i want it, image it, and if the new distro i'm trying out doesnt jive, i can reimage, instead of reinstalling stuff for hours.

Also, any advice on backups in linux in general would be appreciated too. i've done a little reading, and its a little confusing coming from the windows world.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
