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?
