Hello, I need to write code to do a raw backup/restore of a disk in Mac OS X. When I do a: # diskutil list It shows me the drives as disk0s1, disk0s2, disk0s3 etc. It shows me disk0s1, disk0s2, disk0s3 (block device)etc. But along with these it also shows rdisk0s1, rdisk0s2, rdisk0s3(character device) For a raw backup, what should I be using block device or character device? With Linux, I use the block devices and not the character devices. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
