i would like to use dd to make a disk image that I can either transfer to another disk and/or save as a backup. Can anyone tell me if the following syntax will work. As you notice i have no options in use, and basically i would like to know if i need any. dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip -9 > backup.hda1.gz I don't want to proceed in burning these backup to cdrom, if i havn't go the syntax correct, and I won't be able to use em.
