Re: Wild backup Idea
I wonder more.
The image which will be output by 'dd' will be the size of the dev/hda or the
size of the total files ?
By the way, i don't have so many fingers to count how many times i deleted
partions by accident.
All the erases was only workstation with one unique exception, when i was
really newbie in linux i done "\rm -r /" :-)
