hi, i´m Manuel (gnu)
I need help to make and restore my linux OS.
I´m using Fedora 8.
I did this:
I had installed and HTTP SERVER on my linux fedora 8, then i tryed to make the full backup of the disk, so i tryed doing this:
For example i have my current fedora running on
/dev/sdb1 and i did this:

dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/tmp/mybackup.img
Then, when this script finished I uninstalled the HTTP SERVER because now i have the mybackup.img (The backup i did of the disk /dev/sdb1).

BUT, when i uninstalled the HTTP SERVER i tryed to restore the old system i had, i mean, the system that have the HTTP SERVER installed (mybackup.img)
To restore i did this:
dd if=/tmp/mybackup.img of=/dev/sdb1
Now, when this script finished the system keep the same system, i mean it don´t restore the old system (mybackup.img). So i don´t have the HTTP SERVER installed.. Why??????

How to do a image of disk and then restore this image in a PC with the same characteristics. How to??
