Re: backing up a drive
The dd can be from a live cdrom or from a small partition on the box
reserved just for this purpose. The latter is no good in the case of a
dead disk but is convenient otherwise.
What about mirrordir? Assuming equal partitions on 2 disks, say from a
prior dd run, how does the result of
mirrordir --strict-locking / /mnt/backup
compare with appropriately using dd? (/dev/hdb1 is mounted on /mnt/backup)
Seems like mirrordir makes a nice backup option too? Thanks any comments -
