compact flash
« on: October 06, 2025, 08:21:14 PM »
has anyone tried a sector by sector copy of an Office 250 compact flash for a backup, i was able to do that in the old days with a bcm harddrive.  My custome has purchased a mitel 250 system and i want to have a backup card . The Since they are serilaized it seems that it might work ?

I tried to do this in Linux using dd... making a bit for bit copy, and it fails... the serial number it is using doesn't seem to be part of the regular portion of the card (hardware ID or something maybe)... I could get it to boot, but the SYSID was blank and it would be in license violation and reboot every 4 hours.

Ahhh

I wonder if the license is embedded in a hidden partition or in the boot sector.  When I cloned a bcm disk to an ssd I had to use the advanced features of clonezilla as a regular software would not work.   
There were odd partitions.
