Also, you might want to gzip it.
And if you just want to backup the recovery partition, just, erm, backup the recovery partition, and the parameters for fdisk to partition a drive ready for it, and the boot sector of the drive.
I've now fixed that but in order to avoid the same problem, can somebody tell me how to duplicate a drive, or at least the recovery partition (it's a Windows drive) by specifying where the temporary file can go? Or if there's a way to do it without generating an intermediate file it would be appreciated.
