But will this image copy? I need the entire operating system,

I'm not sure you want that, perfectly, unless you'll be putting it on
another *identical* machine, same motherboard and CPU (and same
revisions on both).

I have a legacy (RH 7.2) system and need to make an image copy of the
hard drive. If this machine goes down (hard drive gone) there is no
way for me to rebuild the applications. Can anyone out there help
please?
Um, buy a small hard drive (the newest big ones won't be recognized
properly by the older machine's bios), put it on IDE2, shut the apps
down, and copy all of that (*eigh*, except for /dev....)
