- From Symantec site on Ghost:
"Sector-based and file-based disk imaging creates file images of any
FAT, NTFS, EXT2, and EXT3 file system"

Looks like it must be run from Windows.

As Curt and Doug both mention, "dd" is perfect for doing sector-level
copying under native Linux.  "cp -a" and/or "rsync -a" (if you are
updating an archive) are good tools for copying at the filesystem level...
