$ man rsync
I use rsync over NFS to back up my file server to another machine - there are a
lot of options available.
On the same machine, you can use dd to copy partitions, but it is tremendously
slow. It is the only way to get a full disk image, though - it's the best thing
I've found for backing up Windows and BIOS boot floppies.
