Hello, I want to backup my disk with all of its contents. Exactly, I want to copy it completely to another disk. I have only one freebsd partition and several slices on my disk. I want to copy all the data to another bigger disk preserving my user and group settings. Is it possible to use "cp"? In this way I supposed to create my partitions before and mount them under some partition and just "cp -Rp / /newdisk" but Won't it start to copy the data recursively when copying reachs /newdisk? Just curious. Regards, -- Ertan Kucukoglu ertank@softhome.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
