Description: Linux/UNIX utility to save partitions in a compressed image file
 Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX partition imaging utility: it saves partitions
 in the Ext2FS  (the linux standard), ReiserFS (a new journalized and powerful
 file system), NTFS (Windows NT File System)  or FAT16/32 (DOS & Windows file
 systems), file system formats to an image file. Only used blocks are copied.
 The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, 
 and splitted into multiple files to be copied on amovibles floppies (ZIP for 
 example), or burned on a CD-R ...
 This allows to save a full Linux/Windows system, with an only operation. When 
 problems (viruses, crash, error, ...), you just have to restore, and after 
 several minutes, all your system is restored (boot, files, ...), and fully 
 working.
 This is very useful when installing the same software on many machines: just 
 install one of them, create an image, and just restore the image on all other 
 machines. Then, after the first one, each installation is automatically made, 
 and only require a few minutes.
