leo5111,

You can always use rsync from the command line, but if you want a nice pretty program try Clonezilla-live.

ok so does this do like norton ghost install a program on the computer then run program and backup or what? im speaking of clonezilla thanx

[leo5111]

hmm how would i edit the boot up of the clonezilla because to install linux mint i had to put acpi=off even to get into live cd

leo5111,

It is very likely that it will boot ok. It has been a while since I looked at this program, but I am sure there is a way to enter boot options if needed. You will just have to look at the documentation if it won't boot directly.
