absolutely.

partimage (probably my tool of choice)
www.partimage.org

ghost4linux (never used it)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l

mondorescue (full-on backup and recovery for whole systems)
http://www.modorescue.org

g4u (never used that either)
http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/

I am also a huge fan of this:

systemrescuecd
http://www.sysresccd.org

which provides a lot of recovery tools (including partimage) on a simple
bootable CD


I don't mean to be rude (I must be in a bad mood), but how much
searching did you do? Most of the above can be found with a couple of
simple google searches., Google is your friend.

linux partition imaging
linux ghost
linux partition backup

bring up several of these.
