Quoting "Michael D. Setzer II" <mikes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Perhaps the best option to look at it.

Screen Show 1 - shows the syslinux boot menu screen.
Usually just press Enter to boot the default kernel.
Press right arrow of side of image to go to next screen shot.
Screen shot 2 - shows the various options. For local backup just
enter g4l and press enter.
Screen shot 3 -Just Press Enter to select Raw Menu option
Screen shot 4 - Select Local Menu optin and enter
Screen shot 5 - Is network menu we skip.
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.

Let me say I have used G4L at a previous employer to do backups of
machines, etc and it's VERY easy to use and pretty much my default
program. I had problems figuring out CloneZilla and I'm an IT
specialist!
