If you just want the files on the drive, then use tar. DD copies every bit on the drive, allowing for a more comprehensive forensics investigation. It sounds like that is not what you want. Tar will zip up files in a directory for you allowing you to save the information elsewhere. Charles

I don't think you are remembering correctly. One reason for using fiber is its security in that it gives off no electromagnetic field. In a typical cable, the fiber is buffered by a vinyl sheath, and then in cheaper cables, a simple exterior cable sheath is applied. It is impossible to "tap" the
