That's for windows. With Linux you can use most of the usual backup/
restore procedures that you would use with physical machines (tar,cpio,
rsync, etc.) and you have to deal with the same problems of getting a
working disk driver in the initrd image and installing grub that you
would have with real machines. Is there a generic tool to do those two
things easier than booting an install CD in rescue mode and doing it by
hand?
