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?
