ohh. i can 'duplicate disk image' in the memebers area of my linode account site… ah

… except that it uses up part of your disk quota. There isn't a way to access a raw disk image for downloading, if that is what you mean.

I personally run a Bacula server on my home machine and do nightly incremental backups of my Linode, with monthly Full backups.

There is if you boot up Finnix, and use the tools there for copying a full disk image, but it will require server downtime.
