Hi!
Maybe you could use 'dd if=/dev/hdx of=/path/to/destination/file' or
something similar though you have to choose another partition for the image.

Hi all,
I have a couple of gentoo servers that I cannot shutdown for
maintenance. In the past, I've used Acronis trueimage on my windows
machines in order to create images of the drives, and I love the fact
I do not need to shutdown the machine to create the image, and the
image can be saved on the same partition I'm ghosting.
I've tried several program for linux, but none of them seem to have
the same features: partimage can backup live systems, but it cannot
create the file on the same partition I'm ghosting and it creates
different files for every partition, and all the other softwares have
their own liveCD to boot from, but in this way I have to shutdown the
server.
Acronis has a linux version of trueimage, but it needs X to run, and I
do not want to install it on a mail or web server, and gentoo is not
supported, so I think it could be a PITA to install it.
Any suggestion, maybe also some script able to copy also the mbr?
Thanks,
Luca, Italy
