I am not very good with dd, or pipes for that matter, so I need some
help.  I need a command executed on KnoppixClientB to take IMAGE.gz
stored on ServerA and restore a hard drive.  I tried executing the
following from KnoppixClientB

root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# dd of= /dev/sda | ssh -c blowfish
user@ServerA "gunzip -c | dd if =/home/IMAGE.gz" 

But Knoppix just hangs after I enter the password for ServerA.  

 

I created the image using

root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix dd if=/dev/sda bs=1k
conv=sync,noerror | gzip -c | ssh -c blowfish user@ServerA "dd
of=IMAGE.gz bs=1k"

 

Any suggestions?
