Hello,
I would like to back up Linux OS disks by ghosting/imaging them, to be able to restore them on new disks in case of breakage.
In the past, I've used Norton Ghost for Windows.
I've tried to imaging a Linux disk with Norton Ghost, but it looks like the ghost file has the same size than the source disk (under Windows the ghost contains disk data only, but under Linux the ghost seems to contain the full partition size)
Does all ghost file of Linux disks must have the same size than the source disk/partition?
I saw some OpenSource imaging softwares: FOG, Clonezilla, Partition Image, G4U...
Which is the best for imaging OS disks?
Does one of these softwares allows to check the image file by exploring it?
Thanks for your help
Chris
