Biggest drawback of dd: the back-up image will have the same size as the source HDD. I favor dump/restore for complete system back-ups and dd to back-up the MBR. Clonezilla uses partimage, which can be used perfectly fine by itself. It's a pretty good tool as well. -- Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead. ~ Butch
