[Udpcast] Cloning Live Machine

[Donald Teed]

Any approach of cloning a system with a mounted (writable) disk
is doomed.

If you want to clone a system it cannot be operating from the
device you want to clone.  If that were possible, we wouldn't
need to go to all of these lengths to boot from cdrom/floppy/network.

If you want to back up data on a live system, don't look at
a cloning tool, but a backup tool.
