Hi Matt

I have always backed my images up using rsync

Backup
rsync -aPvx --numeric-ids / apps1::voyage/voyage-<NEW install>
Restore
Boot from PXE server or Knoppix CDROM
fdisk the CF, format with a file system (make sure you label root file
system as ROOT_FS), mount file system
rsync -aPvx --numeric-ids apps1::voyage/voyage-<NEW install> /
Install boot agent
grub --no-floppy
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

You done.
