To do full backup including OS and all can use partimage.

To do a bit by bit copy of the entire hard drive can use G4L (Ghost for Linux) - this takes ages from what I've heard.

You can't be logged in to the system if you want to do a complete backup, run live cd and do back up from there: eg use SystemRescueCd to run them http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
