In case of really bad software trouble, or hd crash, this is the fastest help in our opinion, instead of re-installing to latest situation.
(And as we all know - such things only happen when you have absolutely no time for! )
Hi,

I'd just like to know how to clone the harddisk and/or is there a better way to backup the console? Would it be better to just have an empty spare HD and install everything from scratch on location (we have all installers on cd's with the console) if the HD would break up? How do you all touring guys do it, if you do?

Thanks, Ile
