Copy One Hard Drive To Another Hard Drive(Backup)?
Hi,
I was running Win 8 until the release of 12.3. I am happy with 12.3 and will continue to use it.
My question now is how would I copy a 1TB HDD to another 1TB HDD for purposes of backup of data?
Data only, not system? I would use rsnapshot or rdiff-backup. CLI.
I was hoping there was a program somewhere for 12.3 that would do the above using a convenient GUI, but I can't find one. (I would prefer a program with a GUI - not Terminal commands or BootCD)

The second disk is an exact clone so that you can replace one with the other. The target has to be the exact same size or bigger, never smaller. Or, you can use "partimage", which is a text mode GUI. *Warning*: neither of those tools can be run from the same hard disk as you are going to clone, you have to boot a CD or USB stick live and run from it. There are Linux distributions dedicated to this, I use sysresccd (http://www.sysresccd.org/). You can also try the openSUSE 12.3 rescue image. This is absolutely necesary. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
