Partition Cloning Over Network

Copy disk layout stored in MBR if needed:

Start Netcat receiver on the destination (10.0.0.1) and reread MBR after copying is finished:

nc -l -p 1234 > /dev/sda
partprobe /dev/sda

And send first 512 bytes from the source:

dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | nc 10.0.0.1 1234

Copy desired partition:

Start Netcat receiver on the destination again:

nc -l -p 1234 > /dev/sda1

And send partition raw data over the wire:

dd if=/dev/sda1 | nc 10.0.0.1 1234
