Hi all,

I followed the instruction and I was successful with image creation. But I got a problem when I restore the partition from image. I can’t put the star (*) at “Restore partition from an image file”. It always stay at the first choice. I can’t even make it move.

Could you give me a suggestion? I’m using Ubuntu 8.10. Thanks

Hi all,
I want to create a file system as UFS. I have seen some command use ‘mkfs.ufs ….’ or ‘mkfs -t ufs …’ but I can’t seem to find the mkfs apt-get package that has the ufs support. Does anybody know the name of the package? I’m using Ubuntu.

Thanks,

Hi Admin,

Is there a way that I could automate the backup through scheduling Partimage?

Thank you.

Fede
you have to unmount before you can use partimage. I suggest booting from a live cd

There is also the System Rescue CD. You can download the .iso image from here then burn it to CD. It creates (as the name implies) a bootable rescue disk.

System Rescue CD uses Partimage to create partition images, and includes many other system rescue utilities too. The link above takes you to the main page of System Rescue CD where you can learn more .
