    My vote goes to PartImage only. I have created bootable image of Fedora and Ubuntu using PartImage only. It works pretty fine.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Acronis! I use it for backing up production servers and haven't had any issues yet. Universal restores are great, too.
    I praise Webmin and PuTTy!

    Clonezilla Live might work well for you. Check LinuxAppFinder for additional options.

    Can't blame you for that. We get lots of users looking for the "just right" imaging application for them, so do let us know what you go with and how it works out for you.
