I can't speak for the other poster, but in my case there are several reasons.

	1) We've got more than just Linux here in the office.  The business folks 
need Windows, the tech folks need Linux and our job is building a device that 
runs NetBSD.  Luckily, we run NetBSD under VMWare, so I don't have to worry 
about that one.  Good thing, too - try to find *ANY* disk-management software 
that supports ffs filesystems!

	2) I want and need an exact copy of the disk.  Copying with tar gets you 
close, but symlinks wind up being recreated instead of restored (e.g., dates 
get changed).

Yup, not something I'd give my CEO to run :-)
