Backup Partition Table

hi

I'd like to backup Partition Table on my dual boot (Vista+Debian) notebook.
Does this command:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1

backup MBR and Partition Table as well?

Re: Backup Partition Table

Yes, the Partition Table is just the last 66 bytes of the MBR.
