If you do, you'll erase what's on them. Also, it's not a question of accesing the disks -- you'll still be able to do that regardless of what's on them -- but the real question is whether the backup will be any good for restoring. FDR physical dumps will not capture data Linux caches in memory. If the data hasn't been committed to disk, FDR won't get it because it's not aware of it even being there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
