"This tutorial shows how you can back up and restore hard drives and partitions with Ghost4Linux. Ghost4Linux is a Linux Live-CD that you insert into your computer; it contains hard disk and partition imaging and cloning tools similar to Norton Ghost. The created images are compressed and transferred to an FTP server instead of cloning locally."

I wish I could say that it was 100% resolved, but I've had some emails with the G4U author, but haven't gotten a complete reply. The original version was definitely based on the G4U scripts, but I must point out that the copyright information was only on the web site, and not in the scripts or diskette. At least not the ones I had seen. The original author did a translation of it to work with linux. Unfortunately, I never saw those first authors versions, and only saw the second authors last version (0.14) which very different from the original g4u scripts. It was over 2000 lines with a text gui. With the exception of user dd and ftp the programs don't share any direct code, and don't believe anyone but the original dd author could take credit for that. Basically both g4u and g4l are dd piping compression ftp.
The g4u/g4l copyright page hasn't been changed in almost 2 years now, so I wish I could say it has died but basically it still obviously pops up now and then.
