thanks for the help.
Have you considered looking at Clonezilla?  It does a nice job of imaging a disk and only saves the used part.  It creates an image which can be restored and is bootable.

I have a Pogoplug (armv5) running Redsleeve 7 with a 2TB drive to back up to.

AFTER I get my new mailserver working.

Which probably won't be until either someone builds php-imap for armv7, or I figure out how to get build or mock installed (both of which had failed dependencies) and do it myself.


BTW, here is my Cubieboard2 'rack'.  I should also put up my CubieTruck...

Medon is the top one in the stack.
