[wplug] using dd/nfs/gzip to make a norton ghost like disk im aging system.

[Person, Roderick]

there has been some discussion about this on the freebsd lists. you can use
the tools to do a backup but it won't be exaclty like norton ghost acts.
norton ghost does partition re-sizing and such, where these tools would not.
they suggest looking at this site http://www.partimage.org/
