Enzo, Thanks for addressing this issue. I want to make a backup net4801 box.
I am using a net4801 with /mnt/opt and /mnt/kd on a three partition CF, /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3. You say I MUST make /dev/hda3 read-only like hda1 and hda2. If I understand you (say my AstLinux box has a dns of "voip"), and my local Unix box (Mac OS X) has a prompt of "UNIX $". --------------------------- UNIX $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: voip # asterisk -r "stop now" voip # mount -o ro,remount /mnt/kd UNIX $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd if=/dev/hda" >/tmp/image Password: UNIX $ sync voip # reboot ------------------------- Is this correct? If I then "cat" (UNIX $ cat /tmp/image >/dev/disk1) this image to a new CF of the same size, inset it into a DIFFERENT net4801, do I need to change anything? Will the /mnt/kd/ssh folder need to be changed? Thanks so much.
