Sector by sector copy of one pendrive to another ?

[Magnum]

Is it possible to do a sector by sector copy of one pendrive to another of equal or greater capacity ?

It is FAT 32 has Puppy Linux on it.

Most other Linux distros file systems are ext 3,4, and 5 if that makes any difference.

Hi Magnum,

You can use dd the command to do a sector by sector copy. Depending on your device names :

Code: [Select]

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1

yes, dd is very powerful. Please check the man pages, too.
