Can I do a complete mirror image with a dual boot system?
 

I`m running suse 10.1 and Win XP as a dual boot. After the time it took me to get it sorted out properly, I don`t want to have to do the same thing again. Is there a way to do a mirror image of the whole HDD ?

Many thanks

Yes. Use partimage to save the partitions to a remote location (network, external drive, etc). It is free, and comes with most distributions.
