[PD-ot] OS/PD/HD BACKUP + PD LIVE OS

[J_J_FUX]

thanks a million for those links that looks exactly like what i want to do (except no USB HD's , thats a little to futuristic for me still ) i can make this work with the info you have provided and the hardware i do have , thanks again .
   
  Frank Barknecht , was there development on a PD live OS ? , i thought i heard of this around a year ago . is that still being worked on ? 
   
  if you have any info about that id love to hear . things just keep getting better with PD i like the idea of something dedicated to running PD and its massively interesting external software.

This is very off-topic and a such a perfect topic for this list. ;)

What you want to do is pretty common backup stuff. Some URLs to read

$ (insert and mount USB media that is big enough to hold your disk)
$ dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/media/yourdisk/backup.img

Ciao
