So, the question is, what is everyone else using to create images of their
machines?
Haven't bothered with images, but I have used CygWin + bash on the
Win box to run MS Backup from an intelligent script to a Samba shared
drive on the Linux box; with the recovery floppy, this has worked.
(Script available on request.)
I've also used EMC (Dantz) Retrospect on the Win box to a Samba share.
If you want this all automated with compression and all duplicate files
linked to save space and a nice web interface for browsing and restoring
backups, look at http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/. It doesn't do image
copies but people have worked out ways to use MS backup for the system
state to a file, then back that up with backuppc along with all the
data. Backuppc can use tar, rsync or smb to access the targets.
