Backup of raw hard disk?
Posted: 2019-12-14 15:51
Hi - I have a small embedded Linux system and I need to back up its 'disk' (actually small capacity SD card).
I can connect to its FTP server using FileZilla AOK and transfer small files AOK.
I need to make an image backup of the entire disk.
Can I use FileZilla FTP to copy /dev/sda to the host??
Anything special I would need to do to ensure a binary transfer?
I don't want compression or anything fancy, just a complete binary image.
Thanks!
