Depends on what you want (not much input from you, not even which version of openSUSE).
Clonezilla is mentioned. dd for command line disk copy. tar for directory/file level archieving.
Used ddrescure recently
Awesome !

Wouldn’t that be “ddescue”?

I use Clonezilla extensively, for a long time now, a dependable (& FOSS) workhorse.
using opensuse 12.3 as nagios server. Where can I get more info on clone zilla?
To be precise:
GNU ddrescue 1.17
sorry about the typo

And I made a typo of my own O:-)
By the way. If the filesystem is XFS, you can use “xfs_copy” instead to
create the image. It is “sparse”. My current home partition is almost
400 GB in size, but the image only occupies 39 GB (only if done to an
XFS filesystem, I believe). It is not compression, it simply skips empty
sectors.
Which is also very nice.
Another interesting tool for an xfs mounted filesystems is
xfsdump and xfsrestore. It creates an archive of the files (full or
incremental), and it is very fast about it. Just did it, and rsync takes
about 20 minutes, while xfsdump took 8, on a totally idle machine
(besides this task, of course).
Caveats: no verify. Some other things mentioned in the bug section of
the xfsrestore manual. I don’t know a way to recover just some files,
though, or I have not seen it yet.

It is a live CD you boot with. Have a look at the wikipedia, for
instance. Text only. Based on Debian, with an alternate version based on
Ubuntu.
