Hello,

I am glad to see that there is still some activity in the chat room.  
I am trying to clone the HD of an old voicemail system running IBM OS/2  
Version 4 (Warp). CloneZilla didn’t work!!  
Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Eric

As a working OS/2 consultant, I can tell you that DFSee is probably the  
best utility to image either HPFS or JFS on OS/2 (or eComStation). You  
can grab DFSee either from the main site ([http://www.dfsee.com](http://www.dfsee.com)) or from  
Arac Noae ([http://www.arcanoae.com](http://www.arcanoae.com)).

(Full disclosure: I’m a principal in Arca Noae, which is an OS/2-focused  
development house and consultancy.)

Eric, if you need any OS/2 assistance, please feel free to send me PM. I  
never get a chance to visit the newsgroups here on a regular basis, sad  
to say.

Cheers
