Dear All

If someone knows that which software can be used to make a ghost image for
the SUSE Linux ..

That will make me more easier to install the OS ..

I had tried to use the Symantec Ghost to make a disk to disk image,but when
I restored the image ,the system could not be started :(

If you have some experience about this ?

Hi Kalvin,

Use dd - boot with a live DVD. If for example you have an external usb drive and an internal ata drive then use:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda bs=8257536

(this will clone an entire drive - after a lot of sampling found that bs 8 mb factor was optimal - you can also set hdparm on /dev/hda fo c1,d1 and u1)

you can also back only those partitions you want - similar as above -

dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/sda1 bs=8257536
