But I sent the same request to "questions" and got no answer, and I need the answer ASAP :-)) I'll try to be as short as possible. The question is: Will the image of the disk made with "dd if=/dev/da0 of=/backups/scsi.img" reproduce the correct disk structure . I.e will the next command "dd if=/backups/scsi.img of=/dev/da0" recover the disk like it was before, assuming the hard drive is OK (no bad blocks etc). It's out of interest however. The disk contains partitions with OS/2 boot manager, NT 3.11 etc. Theoreticaly it should work. Have anybody experience with such a desposition?
