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. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: All the easy problems have been solved.
