Dear All
If someone knows that which software can be used to make a ghost
image for
the SUSE Linux ..
That will make me more easier to install the OS ..
I had tried to use the Symantec Ghost to make a disk to disk
image,but when
I restored the image ,the system could not be started :(
If you have some experience about this ?

Hi Kalvin,
Use dd - boot with a live DVD. If for example you have an external usb
drive and an internal ata drive then use:
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda bs=8257536
(this will clone an entire drive - after a lot of sampling found that
bs 8 mb factor was optimal - you can also set hdparm on /dev/hda fo
c1,d1 and u1)
you can also back only those partitions you want - similar as above -
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/sda1 bs=8257536

How would I clone a system, but only the files / inodes, if I want to
use it on a different HDD? Let's say I have setup a 80GB HDD, with 3
partitions /, /home & /opt and I want to clone it for later use, but in
2 years time I may want to use a 250GB HDD, so the partitioning could be
different then.
Kind Regards
