Thanks. > I have had good luck with partimage (on the system rescue CD) for windows partitions (both vfat and NTFS). NTFS support is considered experimental, but if I first defrag the partition under windows, I have had no problems backing it up. partimage also allows backing up across the network to another Linux box running partimaged. Partimage only backs up the used part of the partition and runs gzip on it. It breaks it into pieces suitable for placing on a DVD or CD (you set the split size). I have restored the images and rebooted both windows 2k partitions and linux partitions. Bob Styma
