Ghost for Linux is an iso image of a bootable linux CD which let's you
clone the disk
http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l

If you're looking for incremental/daily backups I can recommend
backuppc which I use to do daily backups of both my wife's windows
machine and my linux laptop. It can use tar, rsync, or samba, and has
a nice web interface for checking status, requesting restores or
manual backups.  It also deals with with adapting to machines who come
and go from the network.
