[BackupPC-users] Using dd to copy the BackupPC data

2012-03-15 Thread Brad Morgan
The BackupPC manual says: The best way to copy a pool file system, if possible, is by copying the raw device at the block level (eg: using dd). Could someone give an example of how to do this? Can someone explain why the output file system doesn't get reduced to the size of the input file
