SSHow me the network

• Use stdin/stdout to run dd thru ssh

  • dd if=/dev/hda | ssh 10.1.1.2 dd of=/dev/hda
  • dd if=/dev/hda | ssh 10.1.1.2 dd of=/path/to/file.img
  • ssh 10.1.1.2 dd if=/path/to/file.img | dd of=/dev/hda

• You will be prompted for a password unless a key exchange has been set up

• Great for backing up a system before making any major changes – easy to roll back
