Better check your information, because neither google/linux or freshmeat
list anything called GNUGhost.  Freshmeat does list this:

Partition Image
 
About:
Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility similar to Symantec's Ghost.
This uility saves partitions in the EXT2, Reiserfs, NTFS, HPFS, FAT16,
and FAT32 file system formats to an image file. The image file can be
compressed with gzip or bzip2 in order to save disk space, and it can be
split in order to fit onto a series of  floppy disks. This program can
be useful for backup purposes. A boot/root disk is  also provided,
allowing you to run Partition Image without Linux installed on the
hard disk.

Partition Image is a fantastic free alternative to the commercial Norton
Ghost. Using the KNOPPIX live ISO, I was able to fully back up my
Windows hard drive (FAT32), purposely destroy it using deltree, and
fully restore it, without a single hitch  from the program itself...
