I like to make a complete system image of Xubuntu on a external drive (in case of a disaster to put it back)
In earlier versions I use Redo Backup. It startup during the proces and I can hit the Enter button to start but nothing happens. Even in Safe Mode nothing happens.
Than I use Acronis TrueImage 2018 and that respond with: some partitions contains errors and can be imaged only sector by sector.
Do you know an alternative?
Try installing, and using, “Timeshift”.
Thank you for your response
But what to do when computer crashed and will not boot?
Make a “Live CD”, from most any Linux distro, and boot from it. You can also get the app,“Boot Repair Disk”, and use that; it is great.
Timeshift is ready for such a scenario.
You just boot with your Mint CD and launch timeshift in live-mode.
Then you can recover your system with the image that you made earlier on an external device.
Wow, I didn’t know that. That’s great!
So I use my bootable Xubuntu CD, startup a live session, navigate and startup TimeShift and place the system image back from my external disk to the boot drive.
Similar to Acronis- or Redo Backup.
Thank you very much.
I will seriously try to translate this in Dutch:
Proprietary tools is great for “WINDOWS WORLD”
But for Linux, no very good.Make a boot pendrive
with your Xubuntu, for possible help when needs.
