So, I'm looking to back up a 1TB drive to a computer somewhere on my<br>
network. I don't have too many files on the device itself, but I want to<br>
back up the partition tables still so I can just restore the device back to<br>
before I backed it up. I don't have another 1TB drive, so I was wondering<br>
if there was any LiveCDs that would be able to compress it, or are just<br>
efficient.<br>
<br>
Has anyone had success with any particular liveCD in the past?<br>
