Hi TG,<br>
You can keep an up-to-date copy of the files/folders/pipes/etc. in
the 100GB space using rsync, but not a true clone of the partition.<br>
To get a true clone of the boot partition, you'd need to boot from a
rescue CD, mount the other machine's 100GB space and dd the boot
partition device to a file on the 100GB space.<br>
You'd also probably want to get the Master Boot Record by grabbing
the first 2K of the raw boot device into a separate file...<br>
i.e. something like:<br>
dd bs=512 if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/u/backup/jessie_sda1<br>
dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/u/backup/jessie_mbr_sda<br>
The device names might be different - the mount folder may be
different - etc...<br>
But the idea works. - With a new, blank drive, you could recreate
the partitions using fdisk, reverse the dd commands, boot and then
work on getting the second partition back up and running.<br>
