Hello all,

I hope a simple question,

wanted an absolute duplicate of my freebsd system as backup,

after research, found dd can do same if both drives have identical geometry,

so   dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1

created a duplicate which I installed in a new system and works fine.

But still trying to find a method to duplicate to a larger drive, which is 
probably more common.

anybody ?

thanks
