Hi, I am looking for a method to dump my 'current' installation (which includes couple of vinum volumes + some other normal UFS partitions) to another machine where I have access to a CDR. I don't want to dump the entire HDD, but only the used sectors/files. If you are familiar with Norton Ghost running from a boot floppy uploading contents to a Ghost server, that's exactly what I am trying to achieve. Norton Ghost seems to 'support' UFS, but it merely dumps every sector of a hard disk - not really what I want to achieve. BTW, I don't have hotswapable drives and such. So using vinum itself to make a spare disk is not an option. I don't mind temporarily rebooting the machine on to a different OS/disk to do this backup. Any help is appreciated. -- Hari Bhaskaran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
