Can "dd" also be used to copy to/fro my RAID disks (40G), to a single 40G
disk? The latter is of a different brand, but has the same size. In other
words: how identical does the geometry need to be?

If I can use dd here, I think I will use dd to create a "core" system; and
then use additional dumps to backup individual slices.

Thanks!
