Hi

I'm running a Cobalt RAQ3 with RAQ550 os. and I was wondering how I could Backup The HDD (Hard Drive) for case of re-install.

Thanks.
Regards.

The simple way is to pull the drive out and mount it in something you can run a utility like Norton Ghost or the Linux dd command on.

If you have bandwidth and time, you can use a tool like rsync to copy the contents of your drive to another drive. The beauty of Unix/Linux is that there's no registry; you can just copy the files back and forth (ok, you need the boot sector installed but...)

There are also tools like the Cobalt Migration Utility (CMU) that will package up all your site content, allowing you to restore it onto a clean server. You would still need to do the OS Restore and patching first, then put all your site content stuff in place.
