[NTLUG:Discuss] Output to Multiple Files - Now More

[David Wilson]

My goal is to capture a forensic image of a hard drive
to a dd type of file. I need to split it into chunks
(FAT32 limitation).  My process requires that I have
two copies of the files when complete.  I am trying to
save the time required to make a copy.  If I can write
out both copies at once it will save a considerable
amount of time.

Any suggestions?

David
