I need to clone HDD that contain OpenSuSE 11.1 with ReiserFS format. AFAIK, Norton ghost is unable cloning ReiserFS.
Is it any software that able to do it?
clone the disk -> dd clone the filesystem -> cp, rsync, many others.
Hi Per,
Does dd tools able to copy entire disk bit by bit?
I want to clone the disk to make an off line backup for our system.
Hello Wong, yes, you can use dd to make a raw copy of a disk or a partition like this: dd if=/dev/sdx of=backup-sdx To speed up the copy, you'll probably want to specify a blocksize with bs=nnnn /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
