Hello fellows,
I need to backup a hard disk and used:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos
mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/temp
cat /mnt/dos/* | gzip -c > /mnt/temp

I get after a 5 minutes a error:
Bus error

Is that because they are on the same device?
Can I use 'nc' to put it on a harddisk on a different computer?
I have a parralel cable that can connect (tested and found OK in
dos)
Greetings, Jef
