You can also use partimage in ubuntu (or other unix) to backup ext2/ext3 partition. This is totally free
TIA,

Not related to tablets, but if anyone wants a full-system backup app this is a great one to get.
They just released their 2009 edition (instead of calling it version 12).
Not too much different from the version 11.
http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/su...articles/1003/
I had this for my XP desktop before I bought a separate laptop and it's an excellent backup program. I think I was using version 9 before they split the product line into a Home and non-home edition. My youngest brother gave them a full endorsement after having brought his PC back to life more than once with its backups.
I'm not liking my Lenovo Thinkpad's current built-in backup program. It seems to work but it's much harder than it should be to figure out what was backed up to the USB drive and when. Most of the time it doesn't seem to notice if there are any backups on the drive yet.
TrueImage puts its files in plain view, lets you write a boot disc to restore from, and so on. The Lenovo app I have hides its data on the drive which is pretty dumb.

Partimage in Linux works awesome. I use it for all my OS's. Maemo, Linux and Windows (even works well for Vista - tho it states NTFS support is experimental). It's got some command line involved which might turn some people off. I'd highly recommend it.

Here's a quick snapshot of partimage running. My Maemo partition on my 4GB SD card is highlighted in red "mmcblk0p2" - the restore process takes about a total of 40 seconds, and once it's done you have a completely fresh image restored. Taking images is fast and easy too. Once you learn how to use it you'll find that it's an app to not go without.

Interesting, and it creates the image file as a file that can exist inside of a file system?
Like backup.img in an ext3 or NTFS partition?

Yup, it'll create an image that's stored on your hard drive or where ever you decide (image that it creates has to be stored on a different partition of course). So if you decided to image your SD card and store the image on a ext2/3 or NTFS partition, the image name would have a 000 extension, for example "backup.000" stored on /mnt/backup

Only $4.99 after $20 rebate for Acronis True Image at NewEgg. This is what I use to backup my cloned SD cards in Windows. Search the forum for Acronis for more info. I wish I'd gotten mine for only $5!

Do you have a spare over 1G USB stick?
If you do then download ubuntu 8.10 here
Make your USB stick bootable, see here.
Sometimes the USB is not bootable then you have to repair the MBR, do this in a xterm: lilo -M /dev/sdb
As root, apt-get install partimage, when you boot from your USB stick you will have a whole linux system on a stick with partimage.
Don't forget install flasher3.0, .... on the stick too!
Use it: just stick it in a USB port of your laptop, boot laptop from USB!
