I massively agree. Lots of people do 'ghosting'; lots
of people back up entire disk images before doing
something dangerous. Now I've got ways around a lot
of the problems anyway because I've a root boot floppy
I use. Boot a machine off an nfs root; mount a Real Big
Disk over nfs, and then dd the whole frigging host
system disk to the destination system where it
can be worked on.
Although it is not my primary use for this (mostly I
do R&D), think forensics too. Think of all the various
tools in use for setting up a master image and dupping
it to N other machines.
Also, dd with a decent block speed is an awesomely
fast way to back up a disk.
