It does a nice job of imaging a disk and only saves the used part. It creates an image which can be restored and is bootable. I have a Pogoplug (armv5) running Redsleeve 7 with a 2TB drive to back up to. AFTER I get my new mailserver working. Which probably won't be until either someone builds php-imap for armv7, or I figure out how to get build or mock installed (both of which had failed dependencies) and do it myself. BTW, here is my Cubieboard2 'rack'. I should also put up my CubieTruck... http://medon.htt-consult.com/~rgm/cubieboard/cubietower-3.JPG Medon is the top one in the stack.
