Right :) It also allows restoring in a different partition layout.
Any chance of there being a way like this to restore to windows
systems
from the FreeBSD box?
Not really. I'm far from being a Windows expert though, so YMMV.
As an image? Look up partimage and partimaged. We've had some luck
restoring from both a Linux system running the Partimaged daemon and
booting from a Linux disk and restoring images off a samba/Windows
share using partimage.
I intend to use g4u. I have done some preliminary testing and I am
quite
confident that I can upload and download an image. I am now wondering
about the situation where I need to recreate the partition that is to
contain the image. It needs to be exactly the same size (sectors) as
the
image. That's what I'm worried about. Any suggestions?
Never used g4u...I know that with partimage, if I imaged, say, a 4 gig
drive, then pulled it down to a 6 gig drive and booted Windows, Windows
(2000) would see 4 gig. I had to use a partition editor (there was a
graphical one on one of the Linux rescue CDs) that I used to enlarge
the partition, and Win2k didn't seem to care at all. Qtparted, maybe?
