Suppose I would want to restore trusted files to partitions (after some hacker has succesfully attacked my system) as well as the boot sectors of these partitions and I had made backups of these sectors by (example):
dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/floppy/MBR bs=512 count=1 dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/mnt/floppy/bootrecord_hda2 bs=512 count=1 the restoring the bootsector can be simply done by dd if=/mnt/floppy/MBR of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 dd if=/mnt/floppy/bootrecord_hda2 of=/dev/hda2 bs=512 count=1 Or not? I just don't want to take any risks of deleting all partition information.
