You pipe it through some kind of network data transfer program. ssh should work, if you use the "-e none" flag to make it 8-bit clean. Since "dd" defaults to stdin and stdout, something like this should work: dd if=/dev/hda1 | ssh -e none [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'dd of=/dev/hda1' This *should* copy hda1 on the current machine to hda1 on "remotemachine". I haven't tested it, but I do something very similar with 'dump' to back up one machine to a dump file on another, and it's always worked fine. If you don't want the overhead of ssh, you might want to investigate 'netcat'. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
