All, I have EMC2 2.3.0 running on Ubuntu 8.04LTS and it is driving a desk-top CNC machine. I know, pretty old stuff. But it is running fine and I am starting a project that will last a month, or so. I just noticed the hard-drive is making noise/vibration and wonder if it will make it through.
I think it would be great if I could make an image of the disk and copy it onto another. That way I could swap it out quickly and finish the project. Is this doable with an old OS? I have everything from WinXp to Win10 and Ubuntu 8.04 to 16.04 running in the shop, so I can use another computer to make and copy the disk images. Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thanks. PS: I do have back-up CD's but I think it could take awhile to build an old OS and old EMC2 software. Besides, all the OS libraries are archived by now and could be hard to find.
