  Description: Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves 
partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file 
can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and 
split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for 
example), ... Partitions can be saved across the network since version 
0.6.0.

Partition Image will only copy data from the used portions of the 
partition. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the 
image file. This is unlike the 'dd' command, which also copies empty 
blocks. Partition Image also works for large, very full partitions. For 
example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB.
