[Gllug] Partition imaging [Possibly OT]

[Richard Cottrill]

I recalled a thingy on Freshmeat and did a search: http://www.partimage.org/

Never used it, looks a little on the flaky side, but test it to be sure. It
may be rock solid for the bits they say are stable. I have no idea about
network copies; otherwise all the boxes can be ticked.
