Yes. I do telinit 1 mount -o remount,ro / before running 'dd'. Remounting read only will work but that is not what you said to do. You will need to make sure all file systems are remounted read only. It will work but could have you taking your system offline for quite a while to do the full copy if you have something like a 10TB drive. Our audience is GTALUG members, so they know what we're talking about. :-) I have everything in one filesystem. I do backup of that. Then, I take snapshots of the backup. William, some of us GTALug members are nothing more than home desktop users. ;-)
