there's no other way to do it for what i know since partimage won't run on
64bits.
there's another option:

if you need a / backup take a disk (also an usb one) go to a shell and then
do a cp -a / /mnt/disk (assuming that the disk is mounted into /mnt/disk)
and after some time which depends on the stuff installed you'll have a
mirror version of / on the other disk. if you want it to be compressed, then
do a tar on the mounted disk and you'll have a compressed image of your /
partition.
then when you want to to copy it from the backup disk to the running disk do
again: cp -a and you'll have the / running as it was when you made the
backup. if you experience problems with running x then do
chmod 777 /home -R && chmod 777 /tmp -r && chmod 777 /var/tmp/kdecache-[your
username] and then x would run again. the problem is that sometimes when
doing the cp -a you can experience problems with the permissions on these
directories when not using root.
