Code:
edl /u0 /w /s0 /c0 backup0.img
edl /u1 /w /s0 /c0 backup1.img
edl /u2 /w /s0 /c0 backup2.img
edl /u3 /w /s0 /c0 backup3.img
edl /u4 /w /s0 /c0 backup4.img
edl /u5 /w /s0 /c0 backup5.img
So why does /w (write) take those other arguments?
Because reading is harmless. Writing is dangerous.
What if you wanted to flash the boot partition:
Code:
edl /u /w /pboot_a myboot.img
Ok, but what if you forgot to type /pboot_a?
Code:
edl /u /w myboot.img
That would smash your boot image across the GPT and all the partitions at the start of the LUN. So I make you say /s0 (yup, I want to write starting at sector zero) and /c0 (yup, I want to write the whole LUN).
