Maximus01701 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 So, i'm moving soon and have a few old hard drives I would like to make a sector by sector clone of; so i don't need to take the drives with me. Reason being, long long ago, I may have had a BTC wallet on one that may have been deleted during a windows install that failed (Hence the sector by sector clone). Id like the clone the drives then when i get around to it, set up an ubuntu VM to scan the cloned drive's images using a BTC scan tool. (If you're interested https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25091.0 ) What would you recommend for cloning a drive like that? Maybe clone is the wrong word since i'm not putting it to another dive, but looking to have an image file of some sort i can scan later. -Thanks, Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sounds about right, except no need for sudo in unraid. Quote Link to comment
