Hi,
I want to backup our existing server's hardisk (redhat w/ mail, nat, squid) to another hardisk so that once I use the backup to the same PC server it will be plug & play.
What software for Linux RedHat you can recommend? User friendly one.
Thanks in advance.
ok. just so you can do it, you can use the cat tool to do it.
cat /dev/hda > /dev/hdb
or something like that. the copying will be handled by linux's IO subsystem, and all you have to do is wait for it to finish.
now, another neat tool is dd, which could be used to do a lot of stuff regarding disk images.
man dd should help you.
another consideration might be if your company is willing to invest in tape archives of your data, you're good to go with tar and cpio.
man tar and man cpio will do wonders for you.
HTH. :)
