Hi there Firstly merry Xmas to one and all, thanks for your advice over the year and I hope mine hasn't lead to too many disk reformats!
I'm about to re-jig my laptop which due to client needs has Linux on one partion and winXP on another. I'm going to back the whole thing up to my server before starting. I was wondering what the best technique to use is to ensure all partions, boot thingys and secret 'ibm restore' partions all make successfully. I've got a thinkpad X31 if that helps. I'm thinking dd which I have never used but I'm concerned that on restore of partions 'doze will fail to boot if I don't get everything - I mean everything backed up in the correct manner. Any thoughts multo appreciato. Stu -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
