At the moment I have a Vista computer where I would like to dump the
OpenBSD image.
The OpenBSD box has only one sinlge partiton (/) of 80GB. I can ssh to
the OBSD box via putty.
But I don't have samba running. How can I dump the image to the Vista
box? If this is not possible,
I can install OBSD 4.3-release on my new machine and NFS moount the
new machine to the old one
and then dump the image there.

Also, my old machine has only one partition (/) and I am planning to
have multiple partitions (/, /var/, /tmp, /usr/ etc.) in my new
machine - is this going to cause any issue with the dump and restore?

Thanks.
