p/s I love your kde install !!

Look at mgmt-tools, its exactly what you want. Kind of large and it will be the only version of mgmt-tools, I am working on a complete rewrite called console-tools. but thats not important. What is important is you can is mgmt-tools to clone to another partition, including USB Disks. And even better you can backup and restore to tar or very slowly to tgz files. From any partition to any partition on any SD or USB disk.

gparted-hack is required for mgmt-tools. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=25140
