Subject: copying a disk image to restore on linux


> hi all,
>    I would like to know if there are any utilities on linux (preferably
freeware) which can create a complete image of the hard-drive. I know dd
exists, but that would create the image of the entire drive. If the drive
was (say) 40 GB and the free space is 20 GB then that would be a waste of
space. Is there a tool which would let me create the image of the used space
on the drive ?
