Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Red Hat 5.5 live backup/restore Post 302577551 by mark54g on Tuesday 29th of November 2011 10:26:21 AM

I had meant if you want an entire clone, to do the following (as an example):

Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/user/somefile.img

this assumes that /home is NOT on /dev/sda or any partitions contained within /dev/sda. This also assumes that there is sufficient space on /home/user to contain the entire capacity of the drive.

Alternately, if you just want the files, then use tar, even through netcat.
