Hi list,
should it be possible to scp a partition with this command:
scp /dev/sda7 backupserver:/backup/sda7.img
I always get "not a regular file" - which is a clear and understandable
error, but my googling tells me that some people are doing this - and it
seems to work - at least at their systems.
i think there are two simple ways to do this :
1> mount /dev/sda7 under say /mnt and scp -r /mnt <destination>
2> and rsync - i think it is most simple and suitable for backup through
ssh.
