Hi all, I am just helping out a friend with a broken ide software raid setup on a RH 9 box. I would like to backup the hdd's as they are before I go playing with it. I can't tar -czvf /dev/hdc1 ./backup.tgz which is what I really want to do. I can of course dd if=/dev/hdc1 but how do I get the output piped to a zip file? Thanks, Tim Bowden
