Hi, All – I have FC3 on a removable disk in my ThinkPad a31p (a
60GB).
I need to use that disk for some other testing and do not want to lose
my FC3 setup. I am sure it is not using more that 15GB and I have an
extra 20GB that I would like to use for FC3 instead.
Is there any EASY way for me to backup my FC3 disk/partition and
restore it on another disk? The first disk is larger, but the target
disk is large enough to handle the FC3 space used …
ghost, g4l, g4u, tar, monsorescue, and others all come to mind. Each has
differing strengths/weaknesses but all will do what you want (except tar
requires manual configuration of the partitions).
I use mondorescue for my routine bare bones recovery tool in my disaster
recovery plan and it will put everything you want on CDs/DVDs and do the
restore/repartition for you as you specify.
