In Windows, you can do it with Acronis True Image ver. 11.
I don't know about Linux one way or the other.
And then all else just goes as written.
Should this work?

I'm booting from SD on my n800 under OS2008 for months now, and wanted to share some problems I've experienced.
Problems range from:

Every time I observed these kind of problems my internal SD card turned out to be seriously corrupted. (After running fsck from my linux desktop on the card.)

Anyone else noticed this?

Do you need to be booted into flash to clone using Acronis True Image?
I wound up redoing it since I was having trouble with CPU usage when my external 16 GB SDHC was in. So I divided up my 16 GB and used it for the internal. Though now it reports that I can only extend my virtual memory up to 96 MBs.. which is kinda odd (I have about 3.5 GBs for the device memory and the rest 11+ GBs is now internal memory).

The only-96mb-for-vm I don't get.

Yeah, I don't understand it myself. But I can't really see it affecting much (heck I can play Battle of Wesnoth even with 96 MBs extended) so I'm fine with it.
Oddly when I'm booted into flash, it still says I can only extend to 96 MBs. *shrugs* must be something with the FAT partition. It was working at 128 MBs earlier. Maybe I'll do a chdisk in Windows with it sometime.
I'll have to figure out how to back it up then using the NIT then. Since I don't have an SDHC reader (I've been using the Panasonic format utility with the SD HC cards in the NIT).

I couldn't get it to make a partition image onto the hard drive. (It's possible that you can get it to do that, too, though; if you look at Acronis, you'll see something about making a special Acronis partition, and maybe if you do that it will let you.)

Yeah, I just tried it and I can use it to do it through the NIT. Just gotta find a partition to clone it too. >.<
Bad thing about having a 16 GB SDHC..you need a 16 GB sized partition for it. >.<

-MicroB browser wouldn't load
-Apps wouldn't install
Now I run fsck occasionally as a prophylactic. I don't know if this works. (Though I haven't gotten pregnant yet.) Out of maybe 4 runs, once it reported that it fixed an error. (I've run it with Schmots's variables that make it fix problems automatically, which maybe forces it to report less, too, I don't know.)
