You should find this software on your system CD, or from Apple's web site.
It will allow you to create .img files from diskettes, CDs, or hard drives.

The best way to do this is to create an new user account on the file server. This account will only have write access to only one directory on the server. This directory will be the location of the backup of your hard drive. Depending on your network administrator, you can set up the user to have no password. For added safety, the user can have restricted login times.
A Mac can copy its entire hard drive, even if it is the startup disk, provided it is done at the Mac, which is why AppleScript will work. (You cannot log in to a Mac remotely and backup an entire startup disk.)
If you are familiar with AppleScript, this should be enough to get you going. If you are not familiar with AppleScript, it is not a very difficult thing to learn or to fake your way through.

Mspacman, one you could try is called ImageMaster and you can find it on ZDNet for free.

copy it. You can then use it to restore that machine or similar machines.

If it goes block by block, does it matter that it is UFS instead of FAT?
