Thanks, but I thinking of something along the lines of Norton Ghost for Windows. It makes a complete byte by byte image copy of the full
It looks like this is the Norton Ghost equivalent for Linux. I like it. I just went to the web address you show. Do I need any other software on my machine other than just Mondo (what is Debian, Mindi, Mendi-Kernel, BusyBox?)?

When you restore, you get that copied back over what you have. So you are right back to where you started from, regardless of anything that happened in between. I just need to find a tool like that for SuSe Linux.

How do I do the copy to the 2nd hard drive? What tool?
Thanks, Greg Wallace
From a command line as root. I assume you have it partitioned and a file system on it. Try "cp -Rp" source/* dest/. If done correctly it will copy a source (like a CD) to a hard drive. Both CD and HD must have a large enough destination (it can be bigger) and a file system (type doesn't matter - ext2/3, reiser)
I think someone already mentioned this, but have you looked at mondo rescue? I find it quite good for doing images. It allows you to backup to multiple media types. http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/ Just installed it onto my 9.1 pro system and doing a backup as I type! :-) --Sayf -- Blue Moose IT Support www.bluemooseit.com -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
