The thing that is driving my backups is a hard disk failure. Hence I was |
| 6 |
using Ghost instead of something else so I can backup the entire drive and |
| 7 |
not just a single partition. That enables the quickest recovery of the |
| 8 |
entire system in the event of a failure. |

I have looked everywhere I can think of to find a tool that is similar to |
| 11 |
Ghost that will backup the entire hard drive to an image that I can put to |
| 12 |
DVD, without including free blocks on the disk (I don't want an 80GB image of |
| 13 |
an 80GB drive when only 5GB are in use at the time). Does anyone know of a |
| 14 |
tool capable of this that runs on Linux and has FULL Linux fs support? |
