Default Copy RAM to HDD: Beginner
I've taken 2 C++ cl***es years ago and I haven't really used it since, but I got an idea for some software I want to develop. My question is, are there any functions that can copy all contents of RAM to say a file on a hard disk?

I don't really know where to look and most of my searches came up with non-relevant information. I saw in MSDN2 a CopyMemory command in the API but I can't find information on whether it moves the locations in RAM or if I can use it to copy to locations on my hard disk.


Any information or resources would be greatly appreciated.

In theory, yes, but in reality you are likely to run into problems with the operating system not allowing you access to areas of the memory.
