[Trinux-talk] Q - Timothy Burt - Backup or clone hard drive

[Riaan L. <ri...@ra...>]

Timothy,
I refer to your "clone hard drive" howto you wrote.

Is there a way that I can tar the contents of a backed up disc, copy it to
cd, untar it on a partition on the new hard drive and restore the disc,
whilts keeping the permissions etc?

I AM NOT LOOKING for a howto, just some pointers please.

Thanks
Riaan Labuschagne

P.S. Trinux is helping my business www.radioretail.co.za a hell of allot. I
am in the process of upgrading 430 WinNT machines   to  Debian without any
human intervention. (no keyboard , mouse or screens on the machines.)
