dd is great if you need things like boot sectors and what not. (good for total loss)<br>but rsync is faster and can be used as more of a viable backup utility. (good for data recovery)<br><br>Boot sectors can be re-written in a snap using a live-cd and re-running you boot manager of choice.

Hey guys,<br><br>I've got 2 linux servers running here - one is a Gentoo box and one runs Red<br>Hat. I'd like to make images of the drives to an NFS share on a Windows<br>Server - for disaster recovery purposes. My 1st thought was dd... to use
<br>dd I'd need to boot a live cd on the linux server and set up the NFS share -<br>then do the dd to it correct?<br><br>I also have Norton Ghost - I could use that I suppose...<br><br>Any thoughts? Ideas?<br><br>Thank you!
