about using dd to make a backup image. I understand how to create the image, but could you (or someone) tell me how to restore from the image if it should be necessary.
'if' means in-file, 'of' means out-file. Just swap the filenames:
dd of=/dev/hda if=hda.img or dd of=/dev/hda21 if=hda21.img
Works only if you write it to the disk where it came from.
Otherwise, just make a standard file copy of everything in the partition. Or a compressed one. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEiV90tTMYHG2NR9URAnhxAJ920zyqtjcvxK15XEjFMmUcne5kNgCggnWl k8+9iT3pSfjlY2Ls1rJWljs= =Y99S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
