I have been doing that for about two years now. Works great! It's just like dd, only faster and more space efficient. However you can only dump partitions, not the whole disk, so I also save the output of fdisk -l, so I can recreate the partition table in case of disaster. Booting a live cd and using restore is quite easy if I need to. regards, Andreas Micklei -- _______________________________________ Andreas Micklei Software development, Network engineering IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Sachsendamm 6 10829 Berlin, Germany Tel: +49 (0 30) 44 67 82 22 Fax: +49 (0 30) 44 67 82 23 www.ivistar.de mailto:andreas.mick...@ivistar.de _____________________________ "Making it all come together" Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dipl.-Inform.
