[mythtv-users] Best way to backup / (Root)

[Verteiler]

If you want a 1to1 copy (with all the partitions) you will have to boot 
up from cdrom (knoppix) and use the dd command (otherwise you will not 
copy the mbr.
If you want to copy only the content, then create a partition and use 
"cp -R" ... remember that this ist not a 1to1 copy (you will not be able 
to boot off of this partition.
