Backup and restore a Windows partition

Today I discovered ‘ntfsclone’ which is included in debian in the ‘ntfsprogs’ package.

For example if you wonna try to backup your ‘/dev/hda3′ to a remote host:

foobar:~ # ntfsclone –save-image –output – /edv/hda3 | \
ssh $remotehost ‘( cat > xp.img )’

remotehost:~ # cat xp.img | ssh $foobar \
‘(ntfsclone –restore-image –overwrite /dev/hda3 – )’

Maybe you you also will have a look into ‘ntfsresize’! ;-)
