so I'm trying to back up my 2 partitions on my desktop PC's main HD. I already used ntfsclone to copy the main HD patition (NTFS) as an image over to my external HD (FAT32), but now I have a problem.
I'm using dd to copy another, smaller partition over to the external, FAT32 to FAT32, but the command I have from a friend does not include splitting the file. And the partition is just over 4 gigs (5.0 GB)
dd if=/dev/hda1 bs=16M | gzip -9c > /media/sda1/PC_HD_IMG/Ddrive/hda1.vfat.gz
I can't seem to find anything online about how to put the split command into that line. I've tried guessing on my own but it didn't work. I don't know if the info isn't already out there of or my search-fu is weak.
Also, I'm a total newb to using linux root
