Sure. There are a bunch of ways to do this. You could swap out disks, mount the disk you want to copy to, and then you can execute a variety of commands to copy the files. I think it's a personal preference thing, though I'm sure some ways are better than others. I've been doing cp -av /usr /home /etc /boot /var [rest of the root dirs minus /mnt] /mnt/new_disk [And of course the new disk is mounted under 'new_disk'] There are probably better ways, though. :) > > ===== > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo! > Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
