Accessible image backup and restore program?

[Albert Sten-Clanton]

I just looked for speakup-related info on the GRML wiki but didn't find it?
Using "swspeak" in the search entry field got me no results, and using
"speakup" did little better.  (No, I didn't use the quote marks there.)
Thanks to anybody who can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Grml is my favourite. There are details on the Grml wiki of how to start it
with speech (or braille, but that isn't our topic here). However, changes
were made in recent versions to the accessibility support, hence the
information on the wiki may not be current. I haven't experimented with a
recent GRML release.

Grml provides essentially every recovery tool you are likely to need.

My own solution is somewhat different: I bind mount my partitions in a
directory under /tmp, then use rsync to copy everything over to an external
drive. This is slightly easier than excluding /dev, /proc, /sys etc., and
still gives you the directories in the underlying file system which serve as
the mount points.

I have only Linux partitions to back up as I don't run Windows on any of my
machines.
