WRT USB backup on linux: I just stumbled over this on a thread:
"dd it! Usage would be something like
Code:
--------------------
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/USB_image
--------------------
where /dev/sdb is your usb drive as listed by
Code:
--------------------
sudo fdisk -l
--------------------
and ~/USB_image is the image file where the copy will be made (a path
where the image file will be created).
To restore the image to another USB drive just invert the process:
Code:
--------------------
sudo dd if=~/USB_image of=/dev/sdb
--------------------
will restore ~/USB_image to the device sdb.
Just make sure that the new USB drive is as big or bigger than the
original one.
You can also mount the image file you just created into a path without
need to restore it first to another USB drive with
Code:
--------------------
mount ~/USB_image /mnt/USB_image -o loop
--------------------
Maybe this helps. Good luck!
