let me introduce you to your new best friend:
Google For Linux (aka G4L). A search at www.google.com/linux "howto .iso" turned up this:
2. Making an ISO-image from files on the harddisk
Creating a Rock-Ridge ISO-image (with long filename support ofcourse) from a directory:

mkisofs -o my_cdrom.iso -l -R cd_dir

See the manual page of mkisofs for other options.

Hi

Yes I saw this last night, but left it. You have a larger hard drive you want to back your entire smaller slave drive byte for byte, you can use command line. Use the command dd. It's not foolproof. When the smaller drive has bad blocks, you may need to use various switches, to copy correctly.

For backups, partimage should do the job.

You probably don't want an iso because I'm not sure Rock Ridge would handle device files, symlinks, and other important files for a / backup.
