Thanks Kenneth for the response. I work in a testing environment so one thing I'm after is to be able to quickly restore several machines to a fresh state (after we've worked them over ). I've checked into g4u a bit and I'm sure it would work but I think it would take too long for our needs. I'm hoping to find something open source and possibly avoid setting up an imaging server for each of the HPUX, AIX and Solaris which do each have imaging solutions. Any other comments appreciated.

You may want to look at g4u. g4u - Harddisk Image Cloning for PCs http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ g4u will image just about any OS or data disk, as it does the imaging on a fairly low level. g4u does use gzip compression, but the images are still fairly large.
