I have no experience with Parted Magic, but I have used a lot the |
| 4 |
Gparted live CD (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php). No idea on |
| 5 |
how the two compare. |

As for gparted (which is a lot more than a gui for parted), I have used |
| 8 |
it on ext4 a couple of times and it managed to complete the copy without |
| 9 |
destroying anything, so I'd say it works. On the other hand, I copied |
| 10 |
*lots* of ext3 and ntfs partitions, and it never failed me. |

BTW, by default gparted does *not* do sector-by-sector partition copies. |

In my opinion this is a much better approach if you do not need a |
| 14 |
bit-exact copy of the original (e.g. if you're doing forensics or |
| 15 |
debugging filesystems), but in the end it's up to you. |
