I've never used it myself, but I read an article somewhere about it and |
| 15 |
seems that mondorescue can do that: |

However, I'm not sure about its portage status: it seems that all the |
| 20 |
versions are masked (for x86 at least). The relevant entry in |
| 21 |
package.mask says |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
"has security issues and will be removed from portage |
| 24 |
due to upstream behaviour, see bug #106497" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
but that comment is rather old (more than one year) and it's still in |
| 27 |
portage. Furthermore, the mondorescue home page shows many |
| 28 |
gentoo-related downloads. |

Maybe there's someone else using it that hopefully can give you more |
| 31 |
detailed information. |
