Perhaps the best option to look at it. http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/#screenshots Screen Show 1 - shows the syslinux boot menu screen.

Screen shot 6 - Local Menu. A Enter to select the partition to save image on. B Enter the name of the Image file. C Skip unless File sytem doesn't support larger files D Skip unless you want to use a compress other than lzop E Will start a backup with lzop compress. Prompts for partition or disk to backup Will show progress bar as it does back. Then reboot. That's the simple version. Just use option F instead of E to restore. The utility menu has a way to clear free space to reduce image size. There is also a documentation file that has more than the 6 screen shots that sourceforge allows, and it has some step by step instructions that might be helpful. http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/files/g4l%20documentation/g4l0 .37-documentationsm.pdf/download +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
