The command "dd" will copy an entire disk byte for byte. No sophistication, no handling disks of different sizes, no glamour at all. Don't copy a filesystem that is open for write and expect clean results. You could try running it from a live CD system such as Freesbie. There is also g4u, which stands for 'Ghost for Unix", which does some of the same things as Norton Ghost. Then there are well-tested tools such as dump and restore, tar, cpio. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
