Making system image of linux with clonezilla
I plan on installing linux mint 11 and immediately plan on doing a system image back up of the distro with Clonezilla. I also plan on doing three partitions: /root, /home, and swap. Now, I have searched Google and all I have seen is people backing up a Linux system that's installed on one partition (everything installed within /root). How would I go backing up my partitions with Clonezilla? Do I just make a system image of the /root partition and leave /home partition alone? Thanks

So, in order to restore my Linux OS back to the way it was, I can just restore the /root partition I backed up? Will there be any misconfigurations with /root and the /home partitions? I really appreciate your responses.

I think I understand what you are saying. I should back up the /root partition and then back up the files of the /home partition. I have all my personal documents and of that sort on a separate partition on my external hd, so that wont be a problem. But I'm guessing that backing up the /home partition is somewhat important since it houses some program configs of that sort? In that case, I will just make an image of both /root and /home and restore both when needed.
