I'm looking for a tool that lets me clone and restore an entire disk image from an Ubuntu box, a la Norton's Ghost. (But from what I understand, Ghost isn't all that great with Linux volumes.)

The idea is that for servers, I would set them up once correctly, clone that image, and then simply do a bare-metal restore from the cloned image if necessary due to hardware failure or OS corruption.

If there's a tool you've used for this with success, I'd love to hear your stories.

Thanks a bunch!

aptitude search image reveals the very handy systemimager and partimage. One of these will probably do the job.
