MODERATOR NOTE: An Explanation of Recently Deleted Messages to the List and a Suggestion Regarding List Subscription Requests
Hello Everyone, Some of you may have been notified that your unposted messages to the list were recently deleted or rejected. Let me assure you that, unless notified, off-list, by either Cara or me, in no way have you or are your posts being blocked from the list. The simple truth of the matter is that Google, for whatever reason, tags some posts to the list as spam or other unwanted material and places them in a queue for review by a moderator. As I only recently began assisting Cara in managing the lists, I dumped a queue of held messages some of which having been held for over a month in order to wipe the proverbial slate clean, making management tasks a little easier. Please accept my apology if you received such a notice and know that it was merely a matter of some proverbial house cleaning, nothing more. I would like to suggest that if you post a message to the list and it does not appear within 24 hours, to please write to Cara and me, off-list, making us aware of the problem so we can go into the queue and find it for you. My direct email address is: mk...@ucla.edu I am aware that some people have encountered difficulty in subscribing to the list or changing email address info, etc. Please remember that the best way to insure that your list subscription requests get processed is to write a short explanation as to why you want to join or change your list info. A list subscription request containing at least one sentence, in addition to an email address, is far more likely to be approved than one containing an email address, only. If you feel as though your list subscription email requests have been overlooked, please send a direct email to Cara and me. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and I look forward to serving you as a list moderator. Most Sincerely, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: urgent! Thorough and Good back up programs
Yes, reverse it. For extra points, defragment and zero the Windows partition, and use bzip2 to compress the output of dd. That makes an even smaller file. It’s a shame that all this can’t be easily automated, although to be fair Apple has taken great care of Apple’s own side of the fence. And when you come right down to it, OS X (and Unix, generally) file systems are easier to duplicate than Windows. Bloody MickeySoft. Your partition tables, including errors, would also be duplicated. I’d throw it all out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: urgent! Thorough and Good back up programs
well, if you use dd and you set the input file to be the first device for the HDD in /dev (the root device for the drive), then *everything* should be copied bit for bit. No missing data, no corruptions. In this case, your root drive would probably be /dev/sda (with 1 thru x being the partitions in order). here is what I use to backup my system: dd if=/dev/sda of=/Volumes/Media/backups/macHD.img that copies the entirety of the primary boot drive (and all its partitions, boot records, etc.) into a single contiguous file. no muss, no fuss. I have room on my 2 TB external for at least 1 months worth of backups at one per week.

Re: urgent! Thorough and Good back up programs
well, here is how the drive imaging works with Disk utility. you can create a hard disk image, partition it and then copy the relevant files to it. mind you, this is not exactly a clone. I haven't tried this particular method myself, so I am not sure if it would work. However, if you dd the entire device, all information (including boot record, partition map, drive allocation tables, volume bitmaps and everything else is preserved as a bit for bit image. with a large enough backup drive, you can store the entire image as a single file. This is the method I use and it works 100% of the time. THe other method (creating a disk image using DU) will not have the same results. you might miss some things like the MBR, partition tables and a few other needed items. now, I use dd as a matter of course simply because I don't have money to throw at a backup program that may, or may not, be entirely accessible for the totally blind user. it is also an included command line app that can be run in terminal from the recovery partition. SInce I can run this recovery partition from either a CD or a USB stick (properly configured), I don't have to worry about anything on the system drive that might accidentally get wiped (considering that I am wiping it anyway). if you need more info on dd, you can read here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/dd.1.html -eric On Sep 12, 2015, at 6:31 AM, Joe Quinn wrote: > So if I Image my boot camp partition, then I deleted, reinstall it, and then > restore it, would it boot?
