Hi all,
 
I am a FreeBSD newbie... would like to know more about backing up the whole FreeBSD system to a new hard disk.
 
What is the most convenient method of backing up to a new harddisk?
any pointers appreciated
 
I cut and pasted Aftabs' reply to Disk Error thread ...
 
Thanks in advance.

>1. fsck -y
>2. tunefs ( enable softupdate)
>3. backup to new hard disk
>4. remove this faulty hard disk

>Your hard disk is dyeing .
