Description:

- Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX partition imaging utility: it saves
partitions in the Ext2FS (the linux standard), ReiserFS (a new
journalized and powerful file system), NTFS (Windows NT File System)
or FAT16/32 (DOS & Windows file systems), file system formats to an
image file. Only used blocks are copied. The image file can be
compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and splitted
into multiple files to be copied on amovibles floppies (ZIP for example),
or burned on a CD-R ...
- This allows to save a full Linux/Windows system, with an only
operation. When problems (viruses, crash, error, ...), you just have to
restore, and after several minutes, all your system is restored (boot,
files, ...), and fully working.
- This is very useful when installing the same software on many
machines: just install one of them, creat|e an image, and just restore
the image on all other machines. Then, after the first one, each
installation is automatically made, and only require a few minutes.
