Check out g4u at http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ if you need to do this on any serious scale using FOSS. Allows copying disk and partition images across the network, etc.CypherBit wrote:Does anyone use anything else (F/OSS) for this same purpose?
Note that copying a smaller drive image to a big drive will not (in my experience) destroy anything, it just wastes space on the bigger drive. You can recover the drive using any fdisk utility to re-write its MBR and partition table. This applies to physical hard drives, I have no experience playing these sorts of games with flash drives.
I highly recommend that you do plenty of "playing" with a couple of spare hard drives before using this stuff on precious "must be saved at all costs" data!
Final comment: Do not use g4l, it is a ripoff of older g4u code, and should be avoided.
