Debian Linux hard disk clone

[abdullah shboull]

I’m new in Linux, and I want to take total backup from this hard disk with Debian Linux operating system to other one to use it at any urgent case.
I know by using the ‘dd’ command, but how can I know the source and the target???
I want to take clone disk, I mean copy all the hard disk content with the same all configuration.
Kindly advice me, it’s an urgent case.

Hi

This is a very good doc on the subject.

Must be the week for cloning..

mkCDrec is also an option.
