PowerQuest (makes of Partition Magic) make a program called Drive Image I have used it in a FreeBSD partition before, you can boot off of the rescue floppies, and do drive to drive, or even create and image and save it to a windows share over the network, it reads the data sector by sector, so the output is exactly the same, this is both good and bad, if the drives are the same, it is very good. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Ted Cabeen Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 8:12 PM To: Adrian Gonzalez Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Symantec Ghost-like app for UFS?

If you want to enlarge any of the partitions, you can boot in single user mode, create the partitions on the new disks and then do a dump/restore combo to transfer the files to the new disk. -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen ted@impulse.net Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 secabeen@pobox.com "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
