Yes. Until a new paper comes out, go for a dump! Where possible, unmount partitions before dumping & dump the RAW character device: <operator@cedar:~ 0>$ ls -l /dev/sd4h /dev/rsd4h crw-r----- 1 root operator 13, 71 Jan 22 11:31 /dev/rsd4h brw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 71 Jan 22 11:31 /dev/sd4h Note that operator's home is /operator (not /home/operator) so /home can be sudo unmounted by operator for dumping, with ssh keys & other dot files still available. -- Glasgow University has great Scottish balls with live folk music: https://twitter.com/Craig_Skinner/status/573437436119912448 Programme (diagrams/text): http://my.strathspey.org/dd/list/4012/
