Has anyone tried using Macrium Reflect to backup a Linuz Ubuntu Mate OS?
I now am backing up wiffies computer with REDO which has some limitations.
Thanks for any info.
Hi shankle,
I use Redo Backup at work to backup my CentOS Linux installation on a notebook. The traditional UNIX\Linux tar is a very good tool to backup Linux systems.
Thanks Vortex,
From what I have read Macrium Reflect will only backup Ubuntu if you
are dual booting with Windows.
Two things are causing me a little trouble with REDO.
1. It puts the Image where it wants to and not where I told it.
2. Verify - put in the live cd and up comes the main window with
two options - image or restore. No where do I see anything about
setting it to verify the image.
Hi shanke,
I create the image in a portable USB hard drive. You should be able to put the image in a shared folder too.
Concerning the backup verification :
QuoteRedobackup does not have verify function.
You can verify the image by hand. The image is composed of partclone
image of each partition, gzipped and split in 2G pieces.
so something like
cat /path/to/your/image_part$n.0* | gzip -dc | partclone.chkimg -s -
-L check$n.log
You can also restore the image to an empty disk to verify it.
