Loading Trisquel from live CD or USB stick: ( so I m not working on the drive
I want to copy ).
Generic example: where sda is an SSD I want to clone ( including MBR and all
partitions ) and sdb is 1TB NTFS Internal Storage Drive. ( I got a desktop
computer, not laptop ).
Working on the direction "Generating ISO from a Physical Drive" I ve seen
that bss and conv arguments must be written after the location of the input
file and not at the end of the line as I thought, that's what was really
confusing me, so thanks to everybody for their answers.
sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=256k conv=noerror | pv | of=/dev/sdb/mybackup.iso
So yes, the output file will be on a different disk from which I m copying...
and I will add this "pv" thing for monitoring operation. Anyway I m gonna
take a look as well to backup utility. Best Regards!.
