Thank you Feek, it looks a bit daunting, I was hoping for the Linux equivalent of Macrium Reflect. Not your fault of course and I appreciate the link, but just WHY is so much in Linux harder to use, more obtuse and a less polished interface than with popular Windows applications? It'll never become truly mainstream unless the workings are totally divorced from the disinterested end user and the interface is simple, friendly and easily manipulated. Every couple of years I try a Linux distribution and always come away wondering why things are so obtuse, with oddball naming conventions, and a needless excess of distributions with seemingly actually trivial, but nonetheless confusing differences.
Thanks again
