RE: Backingup/restoring by partion
Glenn,
Try partimage <http://www.partimage.org/> it is as close to Ghost as I have found. Also, you could try Sysrescuecd <http://www.sysresccd.org/> this is a bootable cd with partimage (and qtparted, file system tools, etc). Very helpful for my imaging needs, though partimage doesn't backup NTFS partitions very well.

*Hi Kent
*I have a few possibilities - and all have a compromise - dual booting is one
*- though I'd rather not simply because it's only a 20gb hdrive and I'd
*rather more than 10GB per os to play with (yes you're right this could be a
*little indulgent)
*
*Other possibilities include using a LiveCD like knopiX or DSL etc and I
*haven't even looked at those distributions that run 'under windows'. Other
*than that I have legit licenses for vmware and win4lin, but they don't quite
*cut the mustard.
*
*Even if I went with dual booting or other options, I'm still curious to know
*if there is a tool out there that will take an image of a drive, not just a
*file system. Something like (or so I understand) ghost used to do.

Hi,
I have a laptop which, depending on the work required that day, will
need to either be debian or windows (as some contracts require me to
be using msaccess 2003 and msde).
*
*And dual-booting is not an acceptable solution?
