Imaging in linux is the easiest imaging you will ever do.
Use the dd command partition by partition as follows:
dd if=[partition] of=[filename]
So, to image your third partition on the first IDE disk to a file in
/home:
dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/home/hda3.img
To go the other way and restore from this file:
dd if=/home/hda3.img of=/dev/hda3
PS: Your mbr will be saved when you image /dev/hda1. Or, you can do it
separately as explained in the lilo installation HOWTO:
dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/mbr.img bs=512 count=1
I used to use ghost. This is much easier.
