dd does no error checking and is not usually suitable for backups of any kind unless you validate the output. find / -xdev | cpio -ov, *dump, or mkisofs -R would all be better ways to store recovery data than dd. -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th St. Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY, 11421 [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 888 359 3508 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
