Re: [Trisquel-users] Creating a backup with "dd if" please help!.

[kaptcha]

got it!. Thanks a millioooon!. So suposing pv package is already installed  
this should allow me to monitor the image creation.

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 ).

sudo dd if=/dev/sda | pv | of=/dev/sdb/mybackup.iso bs=256k conv=noerror
