Re: Debian Wheezy - HP Pavilion dm1
Before you continue, boot into a live Linux from CD or DVD and backup
your Debian.
As root
cd /mountpoint/of/debian
tar czf /mountpoint/for/backup/debian_backup.bak.tar.gz *
If the root directory should contain .dot_files
tar czf /mountpoint/for/backup/partition/debian_backup.bak.tar.gz * .dot_file_a .dot_file_n
>From time to time check
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd?
Replace the ? with the drive letter.
After you heard the click noise, take a look, if there e.g. were spin
downs and spin ups.
