Partimage is a Linux utility which saves partitions having a supported filesystem to an image file. Most Linux and Windows filesystems are supported. The image file can be compressed with the gzip/bzip2 programs to save disk space, and they can be splitted into multiple files to be copied on CDs/DVDs, ... Partitions can also be saved across the network since version 0.6.0 using the partimage network support, or using Samba/NFS.
