I've said it before, but not lately: http://www.partimage.org The current version of PartImage supports UFS/FFS, at least in a beta form. If you want a usable version of PartImage on a bootable CD: http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ Unfortunately, it's Linux, not FreeBSD, so you have to use /dev/hda instead of /dev/ad0, more instead of less, and so on. I don't know if the version of PartImage on that CD has the FFS support; probably not. A combination of a FreeBSD port of PartImage along with the LiveCD port could produce a self-restoring backup, even including the ability to span multiple CDs. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
