1 Hello,
2 I'm using Reto Glauser's mkstage4 script for backup. Reading
3 in the 'Small Footprint Gentoo USB HOWTO' about a stage4 made
4 me ask myself:
5
6 Is it possible to quickly/comfortably put the backup stage4
7 on a USB Stick, such that it behaves just like the same system
8 just backed up while the primary HDD is completely passed by?
9
10 If there is no such tool accomplishing this, there certainly
11 should be, as a way to
12 - have a running system a short time after a HD crash
13 - completely ditch those power hungry HD drives
14 - ... your idea here ...
15
16 Many thanks for your comments.
