Hi all, has anybody tried to ghost a partition under arch?
i was using norton ghost years ago to burn CD's to backup important parititions. Now i would like to make a backup of the vista and lenovo rescue and recovery patitions so that i can remove them completely from the harddrive. the idea is to copy the paritions (5gb and 40gb) to DVD's (DVD burner is connected over firewire and works fine in arch) and be able later to copy them back from the DVD's to a harddrive, if i happen to need it. for now i do not need to use vista, it takes over 3 minutes to boot up (arch boots in 42s including diverse daemons and kdm, kde login happens in 10s with quite some apps open) and is quite unstable (yes, it is up-to-date). i have checked and there exist Mondo http://www.mondorescue.org/ Ghost 4 Linux (g4l) http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l mondo seems to be able to make CD/DVDs directly, g4l not. i don't mind burning the iso's by hand, if the image creation and later recovery works perfect. of course there is dd -> iso and then burn. but i hoped that in the last 16 years there was something more user-friendly available now. :) any experiences? any other ideas? thanx in advance, Damir _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
