Hi folks, just a question: Is there a tool in debian, which can create partition images of mounted harddrives?
I searched, but those I found, are all requesting to create from unmounted devices. Looks like dd is promising, bur partclone, clonezilla, parted and so on are all want an unmounted system. Please note, my aim is not getting the simple data (thus I could easily use rsync), but want a full backup with partitions creating from a running system (like clonezilla does). This system may not be shut down! The question is: Does such a tool technically exist at all and is that, what I want, technicalyl possible a all? I saw a similar tool for Windows years ago (I bleive it was "AMANDA"),which could do this within a running Windows. But Windows is not linux, so maybe this could npot be compared. (Please excuse, if my question sounds dumb). Thanks for your thoughtfulness and a short advice. Best Hans
