Mostly uses dd with compress using lzop, gzip or bzip2. Along with ntfsclone options, and has fsarchiver also included, but I added it as an option at an users request, and have only used it a couple of times in testing. Would be happy to answer any questions. > ... > > -- > Timothy Murphy > e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net > School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland > > > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have > a question?
