Re: Partition magic (Again)



For your first question please see previous thread concerning the (exact) 
same matter. As for your second question, no Partition Magic probably does
not compress the image following its generation.
There are better ways to backup up your system, most notably using a compressed
tar archive of your root filesystem. If you still wish to use this method,
please consult dd's documentation. Like I said before, dd can achieve the exact
same function and it only consumes 27 KB in size.

P.S.: Don't repeat your question another time.
