Hello, Re: Using cp Actually
Hello,
Re: Using cp
Actually cp will not do the same job as it does not copy the underlying blocks of the file, but the content of the file. Things are slightly different there. Not if you want true 'duplication' of the underlying blocks. You can use dd to copy files as well as full devices. Unfortunately, until the spec for the VMFS is released, this is the best you can do. dd gives me the opportunity to define the size of the block as well.
Re: Workstation
ESX uses a Virtual Machine File System to store VMs unlike WorkStation. Since this is unknown to tools like EnCase and FTK, you need to use different mechanisms to get the data off the system.
