Save partitions across a network with Partimage

“In my last article I showed you how to save a partition from a
drive to a local image file using the Partimage tool (see my
article “Copy partitions on your system with Partimage”). And
although (as a reader did point out) Partimage is limited by not
supporting ext4 file systems, it still has plenty of uses. One of
those uses is copying partitions across a networking. In fact,
Partimage has a tool, the Partimage Server, that can be used as a
storage facility to hold partitions that can then be imaged onto
multiple machines. That can save you quite a bit of time when you
are imaging numerous systems. This can bring much relief in
disaster recovery as well as desktop or server rollout.

“In this article I am going to show you how to set up the
Partimage Server as well as save an image to it from a remote
machine.”
