    Hi all (second posting try)
    I have a one and only drive dying on a server (OK - to use vinum is to
    be smarter than I am). Anyways I have unsuccessfully tried to image the
    drive using some util that is recommended (?) Can I dump the slices to a
    remote machine, install 2 new drives follow the tute to bootstrap vinum
    then restore the remote saved slices to the various slice/partitions?
    In a bind(4) here! anyone clue me in please?
    Thanks
    Keith
