[TriLUG] making a disk image

[Ben Pitzer]

Folks,

Hey, I'm curious if any of your out there have ever used any Linux
software for making backup images of your file systems, perhaps
something similar to Norton's Ghost software.  I would like to back up
my Linux drives since I heard one of them making some rather unfortunate
noises one evening.  I'm afraid that if I spin them down, they won't
spin back up, and I would like to make decent backups before that
happens.

Any thoughts you might have on a good disk imaging software would be
helpful.  Thanks!

Regards,
Ben Pitzer
