Here is a link to the howto to do a software raid, which is a little more reliable then dd or cpio when it comes it mirroring: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html Albert Smith Unix Administrator Quest Diagnostics Inc.

For example if you had two hard drives, make one a backup them remove it and put it in a safe place. Can this be done with the dd command? ============================= Dan Belkie Forzani Group LTD System Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 403.717.1400 ext 1642 Mobile: 403.605.6354 http://www.sportchek.ca ============================= "Parts that don't exist can't break."
