I've tried using rsync, but it blows up all over the place. Is there nothing like CCC for Linux? Half the stuff on the man pages for RSYNC contradicts the other half. I just want to clone an entire Linux installation to an external USB drive. This seems like it shouldn't be that difficult of a task, but everything that I read says that one method is better than another. I want to make a disk that has everything that the original had, then, when/if I hose the original I can reinstall Ubuntu and just copy over the old image and restore it to where it was. In theory, RSYNC should be the way to go, but it never seems to work. Also, RSYNC says that it is only for network backup.
