full backup remotely?

2009-12-30 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi, Does anyone knows a way (or an app) to backup a full Linux machine remotely to another drive? I'm not talking file based backup, but partition based backup (creating a ghost image). I need to do such a backup without physically travelling to the hosting company. Thanks, Hetz -- my blog

The dd approach is problematic. One problem is, that half full partition might take as many space as a full partition. This is a software written for this specific purpose. There's also a minimal linux system bootable disk with it. http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 7:54

Hi Tom, Sammy Both CloneZilla and Partimage require that I unmount the partition before doing the backup. dd is nice, but that will copy also the empty space (although it won't have impact on the size of the backup, it will have an impact on the time it takes). I need something like Partimage,
