OK, I found a solution when looking for an answer to using Partimage with the LS Live over the network. So I thought I'd post the solution here in case someone finds it useful. This applies to Ubuntu/Linux. There maybe a similar way of doing this in Windows but I've tried it.
1. Install smbfs:
sudo apt-get install smbfs
2. Make a temp directory - you can obviously choose any name/location for this directory
sudo mkdir /rsynctemp
3. Mount the LS Live shared folder to the directory you create in Step 2 using smbfs:
sudo mount -t smbfs -o lfs,username=admin //192.168.X.XX/share /rsynctemp
You will prompted for a password if applicable.
You change the username, IP address & the shared folder name (in this case 'share') to suit your requirements.
4. You now rsync to /rsynctemp (or wherever you've created mount directory), example below:
rsync -r -v --progress --delete --ignore-existing /home -e ssh /rsynctemp
PS: You can use the same technique to use partimage except you would run partimage and use /rsynctemp/your_image_filename as the target. Thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=287522&page=4
Hope it helps someone!
