  About partimage
  
  Partimage is opensource disk backup software. It saves partitions having a supported filesystem on a sector basis to an image file. Although it runs under Linux, Windows and most Linux filesystems are supported. The image file can be compressed to save disk space and transfer time and can be split into multiple files to be copied to CDs or DVDs.
  
  Partitions can be saved across the network using the partimage network support, or using Samba / NFS (Network File Systems). This provides the ability to perform an hard disk partition recovery after a disk crash.
  
  Partimage can be run as part of your normal system or as a stand-alone from the live SystemRescueCd. This is helpful when the operating system cannot be started. SystemRescueCd comes with most of the data recovery software for linux that you may need .
  
  Partimage will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. (This is why it only works for supported filesystem. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file. This is unlike other commands, which also copy unused blocks. Since the partition is processed on a sequential sector basis disk transfer time is maximized and seek time is minimized, Partimage also works for very full partitions. For example, a full 1 GB partition may be compressed down to 400MB.
  When to use it
  
  Very useful to restore partitions for recovery if there is a problem like virus infection, file system errors, upgrade regression errors, configuration error or hard drive error or failure. Partimage is fast and easy to use, create and image of the system partition often. When you have a problem, just restore the partition, and after a few minutes, you have the original partition. No need to reconfigure your system, utilities, daemons or reinstall and taylor applications. You can write the image to a CD-R for archival purposes or to avoid using hard-disk space.
  Installing many identical computer images. For example, if you buy 50 PCs, with the same hardware, and want to install the same system on all of then, you will save a lot of time. Install on the first PC and create an image from it. For the 49 others, you can use the image file and Partition Image restore function.
  An other example is for instructional use where all students need to have the same environment to start with. At the end of a session each student can write a CD ( or save their system partition to a fileserver, students frequently forget or misplace this type of thing) with their current revisions. At the beginning of the next session, restore the image and they can continue. They may misconfigure or corrupt their environment in the course of their learning they will be able to “step back” to a well defined point where their environment was working.
