Any open source disk duplicating software?

I have a few drives to upgrade this week, and am looking for something other than Ghost, so I dont have to go to an external drive and then back to the new drive. I want to be able to slap the new drive in, copy data, then remove the old one and have the user happy again. Any suggestions?

I'd recommend buying a copy of Acronis, it's worth it.

Or try:

Clonezilla
DriveImage XML Backup Software - Data Recovery Product

I was reading about a new one yesterday called FOG. It looks like this has some nice features if you only need to clone Windows clients.

Use dd if you want a bit to bit copy.

Why does it have to be open source?

WinPE with ImageX always serves me well.

Clonezilla is junk, IMO.

I like CopyWipe.

Second this, no need to use an open source when this is already free if you're looking to image Windows.

Because most people equate free with open source. I don't see why this is a point of contention. I'm sure we all understand what he's looking for.
