I see two ways to clone a HD on the web one using dd and one using tar.

Boot from the live cd. Mount your destination media to (say) /mnt.

dd if=/dev/sd whatever of=/mnt/mybackup.ddimg

In this case what do they mean by mount?

Mount the source to /mnt, mount the destination to /home (say)

tar cvfpz /home/mybackup.tar.gz   /mnt

does this tar create a copy of the whole disk?

Thanks
JT
