    Backing up a dual boot system

    I want to image my hdd soon. It took me a LONG time to set up Fedora with winXP. I would like to back them up to a spanned DVD set.

    What are the best softwares out there for this job? I tried norton's ghost, but it keep freezing in random locations during the image making process. Anyone know why maybe? Or has anyone tried any of the other softwares?

    could you create a .zip file of the directory and then copy it to a dvd? maybe its a problem with files being open when you try to ghost it. boot under one system and zip up the other (if its in dual partitions) and then repeat. copy the zip files to a dvd.

    Yeah, I was expecting Norton Ghost to shedule this as a task, reboot and then get the image. Why did it not do that?
