Here's something I used to do often...on the Amiga...can 
you do it on NetBSD? (Can't on Win32!)

On the Amiga 2000, I used to do backups by copying one 
whole hard drive to another. The HD being copied was the 
main HD, with the OS on it and everything, and the CPU 
was doing other stuff besides.

It was never a problem. I used to do that every week for 
my backup, just copy dh0: to dh1: It always worked and 
never a hitch.

You can't do that on Wyndoze. It will snag and hang up 
the first file it tries to copy while in current use. The 
Amiga did it, so it can't be impossible.

My question is, can you do that on NetBSD?
