RE: Duplicate USB Drives



 
I don't have the details in front of me, but I know you can tar an image of 
a directory to another directory tree using something like: 

mkdir /opt/newvarusr 
cd /var/usr; tar czf - . | (cd /opt/newvarusr/; tar xzvf - ) 

Since you can do a 'dd' and send it through a pipe something similar but add 
tee to the mix. 

I might suggest using dd to generate an output FILE.  Then run 
dd on as many backgrounded tasks as you like to the new kefob devices to 
image 
them.
