[LUG] Linux app for creating a backup or clone of a complete harddrive?

 

Hi

I have been looking for an app that will allow me to backup a microshaft XP
windoze as a complete drive image.

I have used Ghost and drive image in the past.

What i wanted to do didn't work, I tried a Knoppix Live CD. Checked for DCHP
lease etc, umounted the drive i wanted to clone.

then tried something like this

dd if=/dev/hda | ssh user@remotehost /bin/dd of=/tmp/mypc_hda.img

it created a 100MB file in seconds, But the drive has around 60GB of data.


Has anyone found a safe method for doing this type of job

Regards


Sam
