Yes, I guess I should mention that the drives were on the same machine, actually the same bus and/or channel. I have also done this on Solaris. I believe it was Solaris 8, but it works just the same. I am not sure if it would work over a network. Just make sure you dd the disk as a whole as in /dev/daX and not by the slice. -Bob Charlie Schluting wrote: >>I have used dd to image a drive many times before in freebsd.
