A good piece of advice and one that I really should follow.
What is the best way to take an image of the Gentoo install?
In my case my Gentoo install resides on /dev/hda2 (boot) ; /dev/hda3
(swap) and /dev/hda5 (root) - is it possible to use something like dd to
image these partitions to a disk somewhere else on my network? Is this a
good/bad/non-workable idea?

I would welcome any constructive advise on this as the many hours of
building a Gentoo box is not something I want to do too often so being
able to image prior to any major upgrades would be a great safety net...

Cheers
