Anyone know of an easy to make and restore disk images

I've got a few on-topic boxes that I want to use for projects, but I also
don't want to blow away the existing software as some of it is interesting
and hard-to-replace. Bonus points if the image is browsable after moving
but it must be able to restore to an identical state from basically the bare
metal. What I'm thinking of is a NetBSD boot disk with enough software in
the ramdisk to dd an image onto and off of an NFS mount, but before I start
in on it I was wondering if anyone else had a solution.
You might want to check out partimage... which is based on Linux:

I've also got a few spare Seagate ST15150 4.3GB narrow SCSI drives, that I
could probably part with for $10 incl shipping to Ohio. If you're
interested, mail me off-list. I can also small IDE drives nearly free
from Purdue Salvage and Surplus... I can collect a few
for you if
interested (probably 200MB-1GB, $2ea+shipping)
