A HDD of mine got by the Debian installation 128 GPT slots of 128 bytes. So the primary GPT including "protective MBR" and GPT header block has a size of 2 + 128 * 128 / 512 = 34 blocks of 512 bytes. Transplanting this to a disk of sufficent size and a run of a partition editor to recreate the GPT backup table will suffice to clone all GPT identification opportunities of partitions. But i rather meant "safe against unintentional duplication". Have a nice day :) Thomas
