If you are co0mfortable with terminal, just follow http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/...e-using-dd
I have found over time that dd is the easiest and best way to make a backup ISO but its size is dependent on the size of the partition. For that reason I invariably install linux on a 32GB partition and have a separate partition for personal data. Using something like a 500GB partition took for ever, IIRC I cancelled the process and gave up. Then I realised that a 32GB partition seemed to be optimal for me which I prefer to trying methods of reducing the ISO size with dd parameters.
Just my way of doing it, not a reccomensation!

1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
