The partition to be backed up must be unmounted. 2. The following does the trick: dd if=/dev/partition_to_be_backed_up | gzip | ssh user_name@backup.server dd of=name_of_backup_file.gz As an example, the following backs up an image of a floppy disk: dd if=/dev/fd0 | gzip | ssh user_name@backup.server dd of=floppy.img.gz 3. To restore a backed-up partition across a network:(From the backup server) dd if=name_of_backup_file.gz | gzip -d | ssh user_name@target.server dd of=/dev/target_partition To complete our floppy disk example: dd if=floppy.img.gz | gzip -d | ssh user_name@target.server dd of=/dev/fd0 Mail to My Friend , Home Page |
