Yes, I know. I was being facetious. I have a daily battle of wits with
co-workers who use Linux for real-time operations. My point was how so few
consumers use it and how few applications are available for it. At least it
is more popular than Macintosh.

No. Macintosh is some sort of apple. I'm told it tastes like chicken....

However, NOT freeware - $50.

Partimage OTOH IS freeware. Probably available on most distros. One
caveat with it, however, it can only backup NTFS partitions if the
file system is not fragmented or compressed.
 
Ntfsclone is also available on most freeware distros. It can backup any
NTFS safely, even if it's fragmented or compressed.
