If you have enough machines on identical hardware to make partition image copies attractive, you might like clonezilla. You can boot it in an assortment of ways and save and restore disk or partition images that can be included on the bootable medium if it fits or accessed via nfs, smb, or sshfs. It knows enough about most linux and windows filesystems to only copy the used parts of the disk so it is very fast. http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/
