As one of a number of backup techniques, I use G4U to create a disk image from my main system.
For those not familiar with G4U, it uses a Live NetBSD CD to boot and creates an image file using dd, which is sent by FTP to a system on the same network.
Today my CD drive died and it made me think "Is there a simpler, non-interactive, way to do this?"
So there you have it, can I create a disk image, which I could restore onto a blank disk, without all the rebooting and mucking about with CDs?
