[Emc-users] R: Clone a HD
Try to use Clonezilla. ;-) - Messaggio originale - Da: "John Thornton" Inviato: 20/02/2016 12:38 A: "EMC Mailing List" Oggetto: [Emc-users] Clone a HD 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?

Re: [Emc-users] R: Clone a HD
I looked at Clonezilla and it seems way more complicated than using dd. Thanks for the idea.

Re: [Emc-users] R: Clone a HD
clonezillia is better for a number of reasons , it may seem complex but you'll soon get the hang of it the problem with using dd is it will also copy temp files, temp drive and your uuid's to the cloned drive , amongst other things you also dont want to be using the drive that your copying ... ( might sound obvious now ) also if your copying to drives of different sizes dd wont like it , clonezilla will only copy whats needed and not all the blanks as dd will just , well copy everything blind . clonezilla works as a live cd , so your not running the drive your copying . dd works fine dont get me wrong , ok if it's your own machines , but if it's for clients then i'd use clonezilla . and if the drives are large like 1tb or 3 then look for around 6 hours of doing nothing . just my 2 pence worth JT . personally i use rdrive image (http://www.drive-image.com ) & clonezilla depends on how much of a rush i'm in On 20 February 2016 at 13:48, John Thornton wrote: > I looked at Clonezilla and it seems way more complicated than using dd. > > Thanks for the idea. > > JT > > On 2/20/2016 5:51 AM, Alex Chiosso wrote: > > Try to use Clonezilla. ;-) > > > > - Messaggio originale - > > Da: "John Thornton" > > Inviato: 20/02/2016 12:38 > > A: "EMC Mailing List" > > Oggetto: [Emc-users] Clone a HD > > > > I see two ways to clone a HD on the web one using dd and one using tar. > > > > Boot from the live cd.
