Backup ApplicationForum: Apps Topic: Backup Application started by: green Posted by green on Aug. 17 2005,16:47
I need some suggestions on making backups.I can ftp files over to another machine for safe keeping, that works. However, I would like to have some kind of app that can take a snap shot of the system and back it up to a location of my choosing. I will even listen to you suggestions if there is no app, but something better than ftp. Thanks. Posted by Martin0511 on Mar. 01 2006,22:30
rsync and dd spring to my mind. I don't know about using them with DSL, try to install it with apt-get.

I make all my system backups/restore with partimage for a long time, I find it very simple and effective.

Hello,Go to MyDsl section and look for partimage. It will backup all the files fram a partition and you have the option to use gzip or bzip2. I use it all the time to create backup files, then use cdrecord, or tkdvd to butn it to cd or dvd. Flying Eagle Posted by fd0 on Aug. 20 2006,15:39
I'm looking for partimage in any sections of MyDSL but can't find it. The problem still the same with apt, you can found partimage-doc not the executable. I've search here a solution and in other post someone suggest to copy partimage and execute them without install, so i try this way but partimage return error <code>partimage: error while loading shared libraries: libslang.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</code> (I'm run DSL in a 256kb usb pen and know I to wrote in a damnbadenglish. apologize in advance) :) suggestion? |
