I'm helping my neighbour fix his PC, and I want to backup the disk(s) before I re-image it. I've been away from Windows for so long that I forget - is it sufficient to simply rsync everything from NTFS to my backup disk (which won't be using NTFS)?
Many thanks in advance.
It depends on what you're doing the copying with. Back in my DOS & OS/2 days, I just used XCOPY. In Linux, I generally use cp -a. Of course, disk image utilities also work well, if you need to have a bootable restore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
