Backing up the contents of a partition

Partimage (client and server) are provided. Partimage allows you to save an existing partition into an image file. If something goes wrong, you can restore the partition from the image. Here is the official homepage of the project: http://www.partimage.org/. A semi-text interface is provided, and this should not be very hard to use. You need a partition with a lot of free space in order to store the image file.

Since version 0.2.14 of SysRescCd, two partimage versions are provided:

• The default version is compiled without SSL and without login support. The client is available by typing "partimage", and the server with "partimaged". You should use this client in most cases, and when you connect a partimaged server that does not support SSL.
• The secured version is compiled with SSL and login support. The client is available by typing "partimagessl", and the server with "partimagedssl". You should use this client when you connect a partimaged server that expects and SSL encrypted connexion with login.
