I'm looking for a convenient way to image a single hard drive and then deploy it on out to a bunch of other drives with capacity greater than or equal to that of the original.
What I've come up with is to use the dd command to rip the raw data off the drive and save it to a file. I'd like to store the file on a large Windows share, so I'd probably mount the share with samba and then just tell dd to save the file there. Then to deploy, I'd just do the reverse. Maybe I'd mix in a little gzip/gunzip piping as well. Any thoughts? Is there already some tool out there designed for this that would save me a few steps?
