Linux Backup Imaging Software

I am looking for a piece of linux software that can image an entire drive
while in use, similar to Norton Ghost on a Windows system. I would like the
software to backup the whole drive: MBR, all disk volumes Linux and NTFS,
everything ...

Any suggested soultions open source or commercial would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Shortly after I posted this I found a solution that I am going to try. For
any of you that may be looking for a solution similar to the one I
described above take a look at:

Take a look at ghost for Linux over at sourceforge.

Boot Rescue from the SUSE CD... as root, load your network module, get an address on
the network, ssh backuphost "cat >hda.img" </dev/hda

You can then lay this back down onto a like drive....

Boot Rescue from the SUSE CD....
ssh backuphost "cat hda.img" >/dev/hda

Up to you if you want to compress it....
