- Question 1:
- 
- I have a number of "servers" that run single-disk commodity hardware.
- We do this simply for costs reasons.  What I would like to do is
- make a disk image for each server and store each image on a raid-based
- storage box (or dvd). [...]
- 
- Can anyone point me to a valid howto that describes the above
- scenario?  I am not even sure what to search for.  From what I can
- tell, >>dd<< doesn't appear to do what I want.

	Dunno about a how-to, but there is a free software
package, g4u which aids greatly in doing such things.
