IIRC I used clonezilla few years back when I'd left my UBDC, (with GParted), disk at home and it worked OK. It seemed a bit more difficult to use but, to be fair, I'd never used it before.

If you use Clonezilla, watch it very carefully. One of the underlying tools that it uses (partimage IIRC) has a bug in it that means that sometimes it will skip a partition, not backing it up, but not generating an error message either.

This happens with an XFS partition on my most heavily-used PC, and I can't find a way around the problem - other than using something else to back it up.

Someone earlier I think mentioned Drive Snapshot. The URL for this is http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/index.htm and I've used a lot. It's simple and straightforward at what it does.
