Re: [Clonezilla-live] Span an ISO across multiple DVD's?

[Uriel A. <ams...@ya...>]

Thanks all for the replies. While I don't have an external USB drive, I do have an XP netbook. I was able to make a backup of my Vista laptop in a few minutes via Samba in Clonezilla. The process was surpringly painless and easy. It was also fast! (I believe under a half an hour or better for a 10 GB backup.) I used a crossover ethernet cable to connect the two laptops then enabled internet connection sharing on the netbook. For some reason, DCHP didn't work so I had to use static IPs.
