Copy of HP-UX from MO disc
This is my newbi question. I have HP-UX on a MO drive, need to backup that MO in case of damaging the original. Therefor I need a copy on server and be able to put that copy onto a blank MO to recreate a working bootable disc. This what I did.
First I tried to make a copy with dd

dd if=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0 bs=1048576 count=450 of=backup.copy
The data on disc is about 300Mb so 450 would be enough i thought. Not working, som of the files were corrupted. Tried without the count and just backed up the whole MO, same thing. Tried cat /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 >backup.copy, same thing. But on the latter I came a bit futher, almost ½ of the install sequence before it found a corruped filed and quit. Is there a better way?
I would prefer to specify the filesize, cause it seems unnessesary tu put about 1.3Gb file on server when the files on MO is about 300Mb. Can this be fixed?
Hope someone understand my newbi question....

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

cdde.xml

cdde.xml(5)															       cdde.xml(5)

NAME

       cdde.xml - Configuration file for cdde

DESCRIPTION

       When cdde is run for the first time, an example xml configuration file (~/.cdde.xml) is created for you:

       <?xml version="1.0"?>
       <cdde delay="5000000">
	 <drive path="/dev/cdrom">
	   <audio command="echo An audio cd was inserted."/>
	   <data command="echo A data cd was inserted."/>
	   <dvd command="echo A dvd was inserted."/>
	   <vcd command="echo A vcd was inserted."/>
	   <svcd command="echo A svcd was inserted."/>
	   <blank command="echo A blank cdr/dvdr was inserted."/>
	   <mixed command="echo A mixed (audio/data) cd was inserted."/>
	 </drive>
       </cdde>

       This  default  file is not very useful, and so I suggest you to edit it to your needs before running cdde again.  You may add as many drive
       entries, or commands as you like.  If multiple entries are found for a type of disc then all entries will be run  in  the  order  they  are
       found.

       The specific device in use can be passed to the command with one of the following special tags:

	 %dev%	-  is replaced with the device name of the cdrom that
		   just had a disc inserted

	 %mnt%	-  is replaced with the listed mount point for the
		   cdrom that just had a disc inserted

       Note:	%mnt%  is determined through your fstab (usually located in /etc) file. If you do not have a listing for each <drive> in the fstab
       this will cause problems.

       This way, you can tell your video player which device to use when playing a VCD, for example.

EXAMPLE

       This is an example of ~/.cdde.xml file:

       <?xml version="1.0"?>
       <cdde delay="5000000">
	 <drive path="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"/>
	   <audio command="xmms %mnt%"/>
	   <data command="mount %mnt%"/>
	   <dvd
	    command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -dvd 1"/>
	   <vcd
	    command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/>
	   <svcd
	    command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/>
	   <blank command="gcombust"/>
	   <mixed command="mount %mnt%"/>
	 </drive>
       </cdde>
