[GLLUG] Dual-Boot Copy?

[Lachniet, Mark]

Try partimage - its usually on the same boot CD's as qpartd.  It copies
at the filesystem level so its more space efficient than a DD image.  I
usually use a boot CD with qpartd and partimage to back up the boot
sector and the different partitions.  If you have a USB hard drive its
pretty easy, but I suppose you could use CIFS in a pinch also

I like rsync a lot.

copy this information?  I assume using a live cd (like INSERT Security
or SOMETHING) but am not sure what steps to take.  I would like the
simplest solution possible . . .
