As per subject line, does anyone know of any util that will back up an x86
PC running some variant of DOS (MS, Compaq etc.) via rs232 to a remote
system? (Linux preferable on the remote, but other options exist)
I'm not finding anything via Google, but it seems like the sort of thing
that some of the folks here may have done for their systems in the past.
I'm thinking something that will do a sector-by-sector transfer from a
given partition (maybe only in-use sectors, implying some minor
intelligence on the remote end to covert into a raw image, but "send
everything" mentality is better than nothing) - extra points for retrying
bad sectors.
cheers
