creating image on FreeBSD

Hi

I just want to create an image file for my FreeBSD installation... I've tried using Ghost, but the image is too large.
Any idea, what can I use to create an image ???

Thanks a lot

Radu

You could try partimage. I've never used it before, so if it works let me know. http://www.partimage.org/

There are lots of things to do this right on your system now. dump/restore, cpio, tar and friends are designed for backing up filesystems.

I like g4u in the datacenter though.
