Hi folks,

Backing up a host as noted below im getting over and over again the same issue on actual kernel, details:

- Backup host has a pci/usb2.0 card, with a 250gb usb 2.0 disk attached, - Celeron 900 family - Remote host, local console from boot linux rescue: # dd if=/dev/hda conv=sync,noerror | ssh -c blowfish root@192.168.0.6 "dd of=/media/backup/vol-hda.raw.img" - Backup host (192.168.0.6), kernel bug from netdump - here spoolbox host- as netdump-server:
