I use clonezilla. Opensource (free). But lack gui interface, so might be difficult for some to use.

You can google clonezilla to get it.

On linux, depending on how you structure your filesystem, it can be an easy task or more involving one.

For starter, dd would suffix for cloning. You probably need parted or fdisk if you would like to adjust the partition. If you are using logical volume manager(LVM) expansion would be an easy task. If you have chosen a filesystem that can expand online such as EXT3 and above, reiserfs, jfs, ifs, you can potentially have large filesystem without downtime.

All these normally requires no external tools except what is found already available in linux installation or their respective repositories.

If you need a GUI, then redo backup & recovery. Not too bad. Feels a lot like Clonezilla but just more eye candy.
