You can do this way, but ideally your file system should be unmounted (boot
from
a live CD/DVD).
I, personally, use BackupPC for /home and partimage for the file system (/
and /boot).

Would someone please tell how to use partimage to backup whole fedora 10 system in detail?
rpm -qa | grep partimage
partimage-0.6.7-5.fc10.i386
I also downloaded systemrescuecd and burned it.
But can't use it to backup whole fedora 10 system(actually I don't know how to use it)
Booting this cd can't find graphical option.
fdisk -l

I am trying to backup /dev/sda6 partition.
Is it necessary to backup the /proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt, directory to be backed up?
Is it possible to backup /dev/sda6 partition excluding these directory(/proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt,) with partimage or systemrescuecd?
If I copy the whole /dev/sda6 partition in a portable hard disk(250GB),then
after reinstalling minimum fedora 10 and copy-paste that /dev/sda6 from the portable hard disk to the newly installed fedora 10's root (/) directory ,will it work ?
In serious trouble.
Someone please tell how to backup easily as I don't have any live cd.
df -h
/dev/sda6 21G 7.8G 12G 41% /
tmpfs 501M 76K 501M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda5 29G 6.4G 22G 23% /media/disk
/dev/sda1 15G 3.2G 12G 22% /media/disk-1
/dev/sda7 8.8G 1.9G 6.6G 22% /media/disk-2
Thanks.
