Hi, I have 4 mount points /dev/hda5 / /dev/hda7 /usr /dev/hda8 /var /dev/had9 /home I wish to backup everything on /dev/hda5 so I can reformat it, then copy it back. However since this happens to be the / partition I know there are a lot of special entries and files there like /dev /mnt etc...and I'm not sure that a simple cp -pR is going to suffice... Can someone hopefully tell me what command I can use to successfully copy everything on /dev/hda5, then restore it after I format it? thank you!! __________________________________________________ Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
