Not with the g4u tool.  It can only copy onto a disk with the same or
larger size, rather useless.  It copies the disk bit by bit rather than
by files, so it doesn't recognize the filesystem (which is generally
what you really want in a ghosting tool).

Your only options are the proprietary tools like Norton Ghost which are
pretty good, or tar used with something like netcat or SSH (rather
ugly).
