 Hello,

 There is no cd on mac os. So If a virus distort the disk MBR, all data is
 loss and it's not possible to restore the computer and I can't start my
 system on linux. (I don't know if my ssd disk work on linux).

 So I would like to find  how to backup the partition table for mac os.

 I have fond the sfdisk utility to backup the partition table but it work
 only on linux.

 Is it possible to make a sfdisk version for mac (sfdisk port) ?

 Best regards

 mparchet
