Question

Is it possible to backup Compact Flash (CF) disk data to an image file and restore later?
Can you please give some pointers on the same?

	ErikA: 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Or: dd: /dev/sdg: No such file or directory :) – SvW Aug 4 '11 at 20:55
	Hehe. In the case of a question where the OS isn't specified, I just default to linux/BSD. They ought to be using that anyway. :) – ErikA Aug 4 '11 at 20:56
