Linux Backup

I use gentoo as my distro on my desktop, as you know it can take up to two hours to get gentoo up and running.
I do keep backups of my system, but I want to be able to install gentoo from a image of my system. Some thing like Norton ghost I would like the Image to fix a CD. Is there some sort of app that will allow me to do that also I don't have a floopy so I would like to boot from CD.

Thanks

Have a look at parted at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/. There's also dd(1); see "man dd".
