The perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions. It sounds like Symantec Ghost(tm), but has even better features, and is totally free.

Here are some key features of "PING":

• Backup and Restore partitions or files to a MS Network Shared directory;
• Backup and Restore the BIOS data as well;
• Either burn a bootable CD / DVD, either integrate within a PXE / RIS environment;
• Possibility to Blank local admin's password;
• Create your own restoration bootable DVD
• Partition and Format a disk before installing Windows (so to make sure your unattended Windows installation will happen on the right partition)

Specific advantages Linux brings you over DOS and Ghost:

• Most network cards automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
• Most CD/DVD readers automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
• You don't have to run a Ghostcast server to receive images over the network.
