| 1 | for (nearly) identical hardware i use the following commands (from a live distro like knoppix) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | // create compressed and splitted image |
| 4 | dd if=/dev/sd? | gzip -c | split -b 699m - /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz. <---- don't forget that last dot |
| 5 | // verify |
| 6 | cat /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz.* | gzip -d | cmp - /dev/sd? |
| 7 | // restore |
| 8 | cat /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz.* | gzip -d | dd of=/dev/sd? |

| 10 | this is of course os/fs independent. |
