Depending on how you partitioned your hard drive and what applications are running where will depend if you can keep your system up and running while using partimage.
Good Uses:
When installing the same os (LINUX or MS :( ) on multiple similar machines, I install it once, use partimage to create an image and then restore that image to the other machines. Note must copy the boot sector via dd if=/dev/??? of=outfile count=512
