Well, I tried clonezilla, and a few other "image" backup software, and they all failed to re-size the partitions during a restore. The only software I found that did a good image backup/restore was Acronis TrueImage. It has full network support, and I was able to backup my Perfect Server/Ubuntu 8.04/ISPConfig/Ventrilo/Dyndns/PHP, etc from a 40GB drive to an image on a Windows machine, and then restore it to a 80GB drive and automatically restored everything to the 80GB drive, using all the available disk space.

 Most of the image backup tools for Linux seem to want exact disk-disk copies (same size), or restore the original image with only original disk space allocated (ie restore 40GB to 80GB drive, but Ubuntu only sees the 40GB ext3 partition- rest is unused). Being somewhat green to Linux, I just didn't want to play around with partition resizing on a working system

I have not tried systemimager as noted in this howto, but will someday - If it works, great. But if you can find a copy of Acronis, try it. I believe they may even have a 15 day trial demo (has to be installed on Windows - then make a boot CD. Boot CD is Linux based anyway) I'm not trying to promote it or anything, just my relate my experience on finding something that would do a full image restore that worked for me..

 Thanks Falko for all your help in these forums...
