In case you have time to work it out and you can live with some
small bugs, there is a very promising OpenSource project on
http://www.sysresccd.org
SystemRescueCD is a bootable CD based on Gentoo-Linux. It can
- manage partitions
- mirror partitions
- set up connections to nfs and samba servers via network
- ntfs and ufs support is declared as experimental by the authors
  but seems to work on my home-network
