if you have enough space in local drive than give following command dd if=/dev/hda of=bkp.img bs=1024 It will make a very big file name bkp.img. in case of failure you can restore with dd if=/path_to_bkp.img of=/dev/hda will restore the image. Be careful at the time of dd command server will be slow you do not need to shutdown the server. One can user ghost opensource ghost if you can down the server. Few more options are remote dump , ftp , rsync etc can also be used. On 12/9/06, Meadows, Andrew <AMeadows@xxxxxxx> wrote:
