I am trying to backup to ehdd while on a liveUSB but when I write
$dd if=/dev/sda6 bs=8M | gzip -9 > /media/usb/backupimage.gz
I get the message "failed to open /dev/sda6':Permission denied (the /home/folder in there is encrypted).
What do I need to do?
I want to backup before resizing partitions with gparted before reinstalling system.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. Please edit your question and add more new information. How did you encrypt the home partition? Did you use cryptfs?

This was done many years ago in an earlier Ubuntu version around 2007 so I do not recall exactly what package did the encryption.

I am not sure the "permission denied" is because of the encrypted/home/folder. Please copy and paste the contents of the file/etc/fstabin your question. Please edit the question and add new information up there. format the pasted content as code, as you have done before with theddcommand.
