Re: [libreoffice-users] query re. LO crashing ...

Hi :)
If rsync is available on Windows then it might not be so easy to charge people so much for apps 
that do back-ups.  Unless no-one knew about it of course.  

I tried a back-up utility that looked great until i used it to restore a bootable Windows and found 
the Windows boot-loader was completely lost because things were not in exactly the right place.  
Someone suggested using dd but to grep it through some archiving tool.  I did fix the Windows 
restored drive but by installing Grub2.  Grub2 survived the back-up and restore process but it felt 
like i was cheating because the whole purpose was to restore the machine to exactly the way it 
arrived from the store.  

I'm going to ask about grepping a dd through an archiving tool on 
http://www.linuxquestions.org
to see if they can give me a good idea of how to actually write the command.  
Regards from
Tom :)
