Re: Backing up entire disk

[Casey Boone <caseyboone@gmail.com>]

well you could use dd and copy it bit for bit to another disk

are you wanting something to use while the disk is "online" (ie, you
have booted off of it and are running the system currently) or do you
want something you can use offline?
