backup using tape drive

[Harold Hallikainen]

Topic drift here... I'm doing backups to a USB drive (currently on a
Windows machine using Samba to get there). I'm tarring each directory off
root (/var, /etc, /home, ...). Luckily, I have not had to restore from a
backup yet. I'd like to do a "bare metal" backup so I can restore
everything, including boot code, in one restore operation. I'm considering
doing it with Norton Ghost, but would dd be able to do it? Any other
suggestions?

THANKS!

Harold
