# sfdisk /dev/sda < sda.partition.table.12-30-2015.txt
# sfdisk /dev/sda < /path/to/usb/pen/sda.partition.table.12-30-2015.txt

OR

# sfdisk -f /dev/sda < /media/usb/sda.partition.table.12-30-2015.txt

How do I replicate a disk partition table from /dev/sda to /dev/sdd with the same geometry?

This is useful for Linux based software RAID device. Say you replaced /dev/sdd and you want to rebuild the Linux software RAID array. The first step is to replicate a partition table from a disk to another disk:

# sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk -f /dev/sdd
