I agree. dd will allow you to copy an entire partition block by block. This is good if you are replacing a hard drive and want to keep the partition layout the same.
Which means that if you clone the backup of an 100GB disk to a new 200GB disk, you will have 100GB and the empty space will not be accesible. Plus, dd will clone also whitespace, which is a waste. Minus, rsync is way faster, after the first time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
