hi all, I would like to know if there are any utilities on linux (preferably freeware) which can create a complete image of the hard-drive. I know dd exists, but that would create the image of the entire drive. If the drive was (say) 40 GB and the free space is 20 GB then that would be a waste of space. Is there a tool which would let me create the image of the used space on the drive ?
dump tar for compression: gzip, bzip2 But taking only the used space is not a complete image unless you are looking for backup tools. Devdas Bhagat
