Hi,
I have two machines here, one workstation that has Windows 2000 Pro
installed, and one server that runs Gentoo and has a Streamer. How
can I backup the W2K workstation with the streamer in the linux
server?
I had some ideas, but I am not sure which of them is best.
1. Boot the workstation with the installed Windows, and use
smb-network-shares to mount the partitions on the server, backup
them with tar there.
I guess it will fail because of the files in use.
2. Boot the workstation with linux (knoppix or gentoo bootcd), then
mount all partitions (ntfs) and ssh it on the server.
tar cv /mnt/ | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd of=/dev/nst0"
or would that be
tar cv /mnt/ | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "tar -f /dev/nst0"
3. Boot the workstation with linux (knoppix or gentoo bootcd), then
dd all partitions and ssh it on the server.
dd if=/dev/sda1 | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd of=/dev/nst0"
or would that be
dd if=/dev/sda1 | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "tar -f /dev/nst0"
