Hi folks,
I need to backup my whole disk, re organize my partitions, and then
restore the whole thing.

The problem is that the only place where I can put the backup is a samba mount.

dd and dump won't work (they won't put the data on a directory).

What else could I do?

Don't forget that I also need to backup the whole / and /var (which
gives sometimes problems with some unreadable files)

Thank you!
