Re: Data Recovery

cp is not efficient for your need, use RSYNC.

this way, the second time you "backup", you only copy
newer files and don´t crash your box... ;)

Hi;
Is there a data recovery utility anywhere available? Not one that loads into Windoze, but straight into FBSD. I tried the following command to back up my working HD to my new 1/2 teraflop HD:

cp -R /* /ad2

and I managed to crash the system (recovered easily) and fry some important files on ad2. TIA,
Rachel
