looking for windows (w2k) backup solution

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Joe,

If you might be backing it up from a Linux bootable CD, and want a
free built in solution, you could try to just do a dd (disk to disk)
copy. Works for UNIX hosts, so It might work for your Windows disk. We
used to use it long ago on Solaris hosts for a poor mans mirror. dd
disk one to disk two, if disk one fails, just remove it and replace it
with disk two. Don't remember ever having a problem with it.
