You might also want to look at g4l. It does disk imaging and has a clone 
option for a disk to disk option.

The latest released version is on sourceforge,  but a later version is at
ftp://amd64gcc.dyndns.org/g4l-v0.33alpha12.iso

That is a bootable ISO image, but it can also be setup to run from the grub 
menu. 

I'm the current maintainer, and build it using my Fedora systems and use it 
for my classroom machines. 

Are you  using LVM or other setup?
In making an image, it will be the same size.If ext2/3/4 you could proable use 
parted magic to resize non-LVM partitions.
