Re: Cloning a drive
My favorite tool for making backups is dd, it makes an EXACT copy of a drive. It works like this:
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/path/to/image.img bs=4M
Then restore it with:
dd if=/path/to/image.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
If you want to make compressed backups, do something like:
dd if=/dev/sdX bs=4M | gzip -9 > backup.img.gz
It's so nice how linux command line tools mesh together.
