using dd to archive a partition?
by JASlinux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59JG4)
root# dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sdb3/archive.img
dd: failed to open /dev/sdb3/archive.img': Not a directory
The partitions are mounted, but the file system doesn't open from the /dev folder so I tried:
root# dd if=/mnt/sdb1 of=/mnt/sdb3/archive.img
dd: error reading /mnt/sdb1': Is a directory
