I've tried using Ghost2k (newer versions may be better) to just backup/copy
my Linux partitions (straight ext2 at the time), and it sucked horribly. The
biggest problem was a bunch of missing symlinks for libraries which made the
system unbootable. I don't remember now whether all symlinks were removed,
or if it was just in a certain area, or ...
I went back with Partition Magic and it copied the ext2 fses just fine.
However, I don't expect any of these programs to support anything but
straight partitions and ext2.
