Yes...dd does work for this. One problem is that if you are doing this to have an image in case your hard drive crashes, you may need a hard drive of identical geometry in order to restore the dd'd image.
Even harddrives of the same size and same model number and same manufacturer have an awful tendency to be slightly different under the covers....so this is not the best backup method, but can be useful... -Sam On Thu, Aug 01, 2002 at 06:32:53PM +0100, mike wrote: > On Thu, 2002-08-01 at 16:45, Tinu Patel wrote: > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I was wondering if there is another software (other than Norton Ghost > > and Partition Image) that I can use to create images of my RedHat > > servers.
