Don't know about ddrescue. I'm pretty sure that dd can do the job by itself, but you might need a dvd burning program also. Use the -skip option of dd to burn to dvds. Use the -seek option to restore the hard drive. I've written CDs with cp and read them with tar. YMMV espcially since were discussing DVDs. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
