I can't have it as external, the simplest thing would be to copy it over the network, for me I could do that like this: `dd if=/dev/sd3i | ssh destination-computer "dd of=/tmp/sd3copy"` or even `dd if=/dev/sd3i | ssh destination-computer "dd of=/dev/sdXi"` where sdXi is the crypto volume of the destination-computer's receiving drive If you think this approach is okay, how do I proceed? If something like 2nd approach is not possible, then the 1st approach is like a filesystem written to a file? If so isn't there a tool to convert a file to a filesystem?
