Re: help: hdd as raw device?

If your disks are bigger than 2 GB, don't even think about backing them up in
files. They will be truncated to 2 GB.

The simpler you can do is to get the same disks, and dump the source onto the
target with dd (or cp or cat > ...) :

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

You'll get an exact mirror of the disks.

I hope this helps...
