I can prepare close 448 Linux hard drives a day using my two disk

Have you tried partimage? I have used it for backing up machines before
swapping drives. The images contain only used data blocks, and when
restoring you have the option of skipping unused blocks - should be very
fast if it can be used with your duplicators.

Thanks for the mentioning of this program. We are getting ready to move
onto Linux for a system at work. This sounds like a useful program. I'll
try this out, ghosting the linux drives seems to corrupt grub, with my
few trials.
Thanks,
Jim
