Full backup with dd to fat32 external
Hallo, I was trying to backup my powerbook to a FW fat32 formatted hard drive when I came across this...
Would dd work in creating a perfect backup of my internal hd that can be restored in case of problems yelding a working OS?
Also, I'm kinda new to unix so would a command like this, run from a live-cd after the /dev/zero cleanup, do the job?
and to restore:
In the hint the block size is specified, does it depend on source or target disk?
Will this work if the drive wont mount?
Am I right in thinking that if the disk wont mount, you can't get a file path from disktool and therefore can't use this method ? |
