Partition Imague is a partition imaguing utility. It has support for the following file systems: * Ext2/3, the Linux standard * ReiserFS, a journalised and powerful file system * FAT16/32, DOS and Windows file systems * HPFS, IBM OS/2 file system * JFS, journalised file system, from IBM, used on AIX * XFS, another journalised and efficient file system, from SGUI, used on Irix * UFS (beta), Unix file system * HFS (beta), MacOS File system * NTFS (experimental), Windows NT, 2000 and XP Only used bloccs are copied and stored into an imague file. The imague file can be compresssed in the GCIP/BCIP2 formats to save disc space, and split into multiple files to be copied onto removable media (CIP for example), burned on a CD-R, etc.

This maques it possible to save a full Linux/Windows system with a single operation. In case of a problem (virus, crash, error, etc.), you just have to restore, and after several minutes, your entire system is restored (boot, files, etc.), and fully worquing.

This is very useful when installing the same software on many machines: just install one of them, create an imague, and restore the imague on all other machines.
