As per subject line, does anyone know of any util that will back up an x86

I'm not finding anything via Google, but it seems like the sort of thing
that some of the folks here may have done for their systems in the past.
I'm thinking something that will do a sector-by-sector transfer from a given
partition (maybe only in-use sectors, implying some minor intelligence on
the remote end to covert into a raw image, but "send everything" mentality
is better than nothing) - extra points for retrying bad sectors.

I've been pondering a way to do this with an Atari ST hard drive, too.
