I already had it repartitioned and backed up to a local partition first. #!/bin/bash echo Adding ntfsProgs if they are not here. You'll need your user password to proceed. sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs if [ -f /mnt/ntfsBackup.img ]; then echo Danger Will Robinson!, There is already a backup image. ls /mnt/ exit else echo Mounting restore Image location sudo mount /dev/hda5 /mnt fi echo Ready to restore hda1 sudo ntfsclone --save-image --output /mnt/ntfsBackup.img /dev/hda1 #or for a remote backup using ssh #ntfsclone --save-image --output - /dev/hda1 | ssh $remotehost ?( cat > xp.img )?
