Thanks everyone for the respond.
I tried Partimage before when it was v0.6.2. But by then it was not
totally a logical backup tool. E.g., it insisted that partition size has
to be exactly the same, during back/restore. This is insane. Hope this has
been fixed. Anybody has such positive experience with Partimage?
FYI, here is what I have noted when I tried it:
partition size has to be exactly the same
The partition is too small to be restored:
Original partition
size:........2097414144 bytes
Destination partition
size:.....1052803584 bytes
I only have 427M used on it, which should well fit into the 1G destination
drive. With this limitation, I think by now partimage is practically
useless.
