# Description:
# This is only for "disk to disk" or "partition to partition" clone.

# it is important to run partimage in save mode with volume=0 so that we
# can send the data to stdout
# This is the basic idea for partimage:
# (partimage -z0 -o -d --volume=0 -B gui=no save /dev/hda1 stdout |
#  partimage -M -f3 -b restore /dev/hdc1 stdin)
# Similar idea for ntfsclone and dd.
# partclone has a better function, i.e. option "-b" allows to do local partition to partition clone without having piping.
