Are you talking about LVM snapshots, backup entire disk partition or selected files / directories? You will find software for each type of usage.

For folder synchronization use rsync tool -

For creating an archive use tar tool -

For drive imaging use dd tool. backup /dev/sda1 to /nfs/backup/home.data.bin
To save disk space compress it:
dump and restore commands are traditionally used by UNIX and supported under Linux too.

Also, rsnapshot is very nice tool (but I never used it)

Let us know how it went. You may wanna try dd offline as small mistake may take out working data. You've been warned.

I want to make a server entire disk image in order to restore it on one other computer.
Next i will try to resize LVM Partitions on the backup computer and if it works i will resize the LVM Partitions on the server.

I found the G4U software which seems keep LVM architecture if i do a copydisk.

What do you think about this solution ?

Well g4u didn't recognize my hard drives, neither my usb drive neither my ide drive...
i d like to find a software easy to use to replicate my internal hard drive on my usb hard drive, keeping lvm architecture
