Partimage is a Linux utility which saves partitions having a supported filesystems (see below) to an image file. partimage是一个Linux的实用节省分区有一个支持的文件系统（见下文）到一个图像文件。 It is a free and open source alternative to the popular software Norton Ghost or DriveImage .这是一个自由和开放源码的替代流行的软件的Norton Ghost或driveimage 。 Most Linux and Windows filesystems are supported.大多数Linux和Windows文件系统的支持。 The partition image file can be compressed with the gzip / bzip2 programs to save disk space, and can be split into multiple files to easily copy them on CDs / DVDs.分割的图像文件可以被压缩，与gzip /的bzip2程序以节省磁盘空间，并且可以分割成多个档案轻松地复制他们关于光碟/数码影碟。 Partitions can also be saved across the network using the partimage network support, or using Samba / NFS.分区还可以节省整个网络的使用partimage网络支持，或使用Samba / NFS的。 If you don’t want to install Partimage or you don’t have a running Linux installation then you can download and burn如果你不想安装partimage或者您没有一个运行Linux的安装，然后你可以下载和烧伤 SystemRescue CD systemrescue裁谈会 . 。 It is a live cd, like Bart’s Rescue CD, that allows to use Partimage immediately even if your computer has no operating system installed (useful to restore an image), and it also allows to save an image on a DVD on the fly.这是一个活的CD一样，巴特的救援光盘，即允许使用partimage立即即使您的电脑没有安装作业系统（有用的恢复图像） ，并且还允许以保存图像对DVD对果蝇。

It supports Ext2FS, Ext3FS, Reiser FS, FAT16/32, HPFS, JFS, XFS, UFS and HFS.它支持ext2fs ， ext3fs ， reiser财政司司长， fat16/32 ， HPFS下， jfs ，了XFS ， ufs和居所资助计划。 NTFS support is still experimental but works fine with not too much fragmented partitions. NTFS的支持仍是实验，但工程的优良与不算太多零碎分割。

Partimage, like Partition Magic , will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. partimage ，像分区魔术 ，只会复制数据，从使用的部分分割。 For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file.为速度和效率，空闲块不会写入图像文件。 This is unlike the unix ‘dd’ command, which also copies empty blocks.这是不同的Unix的'副'命令，该命令的副本也空块。 Partimage also works for large, very full partitions. partimage也为大型工程，非常充分的分区。 For example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB only.举例来说，全面为1 GB的分区可以压缩gzip下降到只有400mb 。

Partimage can be used to easily copy full OS installation along with relevant files and data to rapidly deploy across multiple machines with identical or near identical hardware. partimage可以用来很容易复制，充分OS安装随着有关文件和数据的快速部署跨越多个机器具有相同或接近相同的硬件。 In Linux, based on our experience, it doesn’t matter if the hardware isn’t identical; only the hard disk size should be same and preferably from the same manufacturer.在Linux的基础上，根据我们的经验，不要紧，如果硬件是不相同的;只有硬碟大小应相同，而且最好是从同一制造商。 On windows it is better to have nearly identical hardware.在Windows最好是有几乎相同的硬件。
