In the last year I installed Slack about 50 times. The sad part is they were all on the same PC.
Is there a good backup tool for Linux that copies (and compresses of course) free space and used space, but byte-for-byte....like Norton Ghost. and yes, I know Ghost can backup Linux some partition types, but I've had bad results (errors) in the past, and anyways, I'm using ReiserFS now. I have also tried Linux's PartImage, but had bad luck with that as well as I do not think it backed up my MBR because "no operating system was found" when I booted after a restore. It would really help me so much if a good backup tool existed....or some good documentation on how to backup byte-for-byte (mbr and all) with dd or a similar CLI. It must be able to backup the MBR, super-block, and free space...not just used compressed directory structure. Thanks for any input
