How to copy the whole harddisk using Knoppix Live Evaluation

[cc]

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 ?

Try looking at the dd command eg:

man dd

OR

man tar

Eg:

# 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:

# 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;

and is working with Knoppix Live Evaluation or Knoppix READ ONLY ?

All commands used is 'standard' *nix.

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

Try it.
