[dba-Tech] Create System Image using Clonezilla

Yes, a) will backup everything on c:, but what I meant was b). If we just
wanted to create an image for each virtual we had installed, independent of
C:\ or any other virtual, could we do that?  

If we could, that would be cool, but I somehow *think* we are not going to
be able to do that and have to revert to a) to do it, and that is a slow
job.

I am speaking totally out of ignorance here, Max, but my WAG would be:
a) if the VMs are on c:\ then they might be backed up automagically;
b) if CloneZilla is installed on each VM, no problem, but it would require
manual initiation.

Once I've installed it on the main OS, I shall try choice b and report what
happens.
