Hey guys.

I've searched the Ubuntu forums for an answer and couldn't find one, so I figured I'd ask here instead.

If I use DD to back up my USB drive to a file, should I expect the checksum of the image file created to be the same as the checksum produced by the device (for instance, /dev/sdb)?

I've been getting different checksums and I wanted to know if it was because of an error writing the image file, or because of something else.


Regards,


Robert W.
