I am trying to make a backup of an entire drive
to a compressed file.  Here is what I have
tried, but it fails:

dd if=/dev/hda | gzip test.gz

Now, I know I am missing something here.  Someone
on this list gave me the exact way to do this
a few years ago, but I lost the documentation.

BTW...  are there any good online resources about
pipes, redirection, etc...?

Thanks,
George
