George just some thoughts; 1) bandwidth 2) cleartext 3) dropped connection So you can see where you may suck down bandwidth, send via clear text susceptible to sniffing (cryptcat would alleviate that but increase overhead), and if your connection drops, ouch! Do not pass go, do not collect $200, start over! I mostly do my imaging via 'dd' and write it to an external 1394 drive. Super fast, no CPU cycles, no dropped network connections, no sniffing, and I'm happy :) hope something here helps! farmerdude
I'm still researching the options for disk imaging and haven't started working with dd and the other tools mentioned on the list. I was concerned about the possibility of corrupt images due to gluing two (albeit solid) tools together but I get the feeling that I may be worrying about it too much. Has anyone had any bad experiences working with dd and netcat? If not I'll consider my question answered.

Does anyone have experience with any free/open source disk imaging utilities? Thanks, george
