The following assumes you have sshd running on the target box, and ssh |
12 |
available on the source box. |

14 |
If you want to copy whole partitions, you can use dd over ssh: |
15 |
|
16 |
dd if=/dev/hda3 bs=<some_large_value> | bzip2 | ssh user@target "cat |
17 |
> /suitable/path/to/hda3.img.bz2" |
18 |
|
19 |
Or, if you can mount the partition, you can use tar: |
20 |
|
21 |
tar -cjvf - /mount/point/ | ssh user@target "cd /some/path ; tar -xjvf -" |
22 |
|
23 |
Hope this helps. |
