All of the laptop's data has now been moved to the desktop system over the network. I still don't see how I can move the data back to the laptop after reformatting it. Is buying the laptop hard drive adapter the only way?

I really appreciate all the advice. I have about 11 of 12 GBs copied from the laptop to the desktop system now via the tar|ssh method so I guess I'll let that complete. Once it's done, how can I move the data back over the network to the reformatted laptop? - Grant On 1/26/07, Matthias Bethke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Grant, > on Friday, 2007-01-26 at 09:47:51, you wrote: > > My laptop is currently still copying everything to my desktop system > > via tar and ssh. > > That's good. dd would be easier on the HD in case it's breaking but if you > have a filesystem > error you'd still have to fix that after copying back.
