Hello,

I want to migrate my system drive to a new, better, bigger disk drive
and need to back up what I have. Is there a tool out there, that lets
me do this?
The tool should be able to boot of a floppy/CD, partition the drive to
something sensible, the same way the current system drive is and then
restore the previously backed up data so everything is back where it
used to be, same permissions, same ownership, same links and symlinks.
I tried a few things in the past and I usually got 2 or more copies of
files that had 2 or more hard hard links to them. I hope this has been
addressed in the past decade ;).

Best regards,
Chris
