Hello,
Perhaps a stupid question or two.
#1 - How does backup an entire installation using dd? #2 - And is it possible to pipe the dd output to an ethernet connection to another Linux box so that 'backup' can be on a drive on another machine? Would NFS work with dd?
Jim... How about something like this: # dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/some/backup # dd if=/dev/hda1 ... | ssh user@host dd of=backup The powers and joys of dd are almost limitless. :-) -Nick
