    How to copy the whole harddisk using Knoppix Live Evaluation

    hi

    can I copy the whole hard disk over LAN with nfs using
    Knoppix Live Evaluation or Knoppix READ ONLY ?

    I tried today, but it doesn't work.

    has someone any EXPERIENCE in this case ?

    kind regards

    Try looking at the dd command eg:
    Code:
    man dd
    OR

    Code:
    man tar
    Eg:
    Code:
    # Device to backup (your harddisk partition)
    $BD=/dev/hda1;
    
    # The directory were $BD is mounted on. (mapped too) 
    $MP=/mnt/backup;
    
    # $BD's filesystem type (eg: ntfs, ext2, cd9660, ext3, fat, ...)
    $FT=auto;
    
    # Mounted NFS directory
    $NFSD=/mnt/nfs;
    
    # Mount harddisk to backup
    mount -t$FT $BD $MP;
    
    # Enter mounted harddisk partition
    cd $MP;
    
    # Create a gzipped archive of $MP on $NFSD 
    # and a textfile contianing a list of the backupped files
    tar pczvf $NFSD/backup.tar.gz . 2> $NFSD/backup.txt;
    Got carried away

    Sorry it should look like this:
    Code:
    # Device to backup (your harddisk partition)
    BD=/dev/hda1;
    
    # The directory were $BD is mounted on. (mapped too)
    MP=/mnt/backup;
    
    # $BD's filesystem type (eg: ntfs, ext2, cd9660, ext3, fat, ...)
    FT=auto;
    
    # Mounted NFS directory
    NFSD=/mnt/nfs;
    
    # Mount harddisk to backup
    mount -t$FT $BD $MP;
    
    # Enter mounted harddisk partition
    cd $MP;
    
    # Create a gzipped archive of $MP on $NFSD
    # and a textfile contianing a list of the backupped files
    tar pczvf $NFSD/backup.tar.gz . 2> $NFSD/backup.txt;

    All commands used is 'standard' *nix.

    Open a rootshell, because mount needs to be run as root.

    Try it.
