Imaging a Redhat 8.0 Computer - can it be as easy as DriveImage is for Windows?

I utilize Drive Image (by powerquest) to image my hard drive within a windows environment. I am utilizing a Linux server (with Samba 3.0) with Redhat 8.0, and am wondering if there is an easy way (product) that would allow me to do the same thing for my Linux server so that I can restore the entire system from a CD or DVD in case of disaster. Thanks.

dump
partimage
