Re: Final word on Drive "ghosting" apps for Linux?

I've always liked....

>From the system to backup:

sudo dd bs=15M if=/dev/sda conv=sync,noerror | ssh user@dest "gzip -9
> /path/to/image/linux.img.gz"

or

sudo dd bs=15M if=/dev/sda conv=sync,noerror | gzip -9
> /media/path/to/usbdrive/ubuntu_linux.img.gz


and restore the image booting from a livecd:

ssh user@dest "gzip -dc /media/path/to/linux.img.gz" | sudo dd
of=/dev/sda
