DD SCSI Disk Copy

[Linuxideot]

Hello,

I am a total beginner and desperate to be able to copy :-

SCSI (No Linux) disk to a file on my Linux machine

I don't know how to find what device my SCSI drive is under. How can I see that it is the correct drive that I am addressing?

sda1 sdd ? I have no idea confused:


Steps Needed

Find where my SCSI drive is mapped to (Check Model number etc)
Copy SCSI drive to a file on the Linux machine

I am sure this is very very easy but I am just a recent convert

hi

with "fdisk -l" command you can list all of your partitions on all disks.

figure out the partition identifier and than copy it.

for example:
sda1 your scsi drive and hdb2 the target drive

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mountpoint_of_hdb2/my_scsi_drive_image

it's will make a disk image frome sda1
