I've used it many times for DOS and ext3.  The program says it supports ext4
but I've never tried ext4 so I can't comment.

Gparted is just a gui front-end for parted, which copies individual partitions
but not whole disks.  If you have only one partition then it should be equivalent,
I think, to copying the disk.
