Three minutes and 46 seconds, to be precise : ) Round 1
Almost got there. But I restored at the end of the day. I copied the new one to an image and I plan on returning soon. There were some network issues... The supposedly static server ip and DNS kept on getting changes/lost. I could get it working, but how it behaved after a reboot was random. I think this is the problem....seems there are 2 things fighting for control. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309835 Round 2, I'll restore the new system and try the fix from the forum. It fixed problems I was having with Inkscape and Gimp. ----------------------- On cloning We use Clonezilla for our windows systems. Clonezilla uses partimage. We just have a 500 gig usb hard drive for server backups. Partimage takes about 15 minutes to do a full gzipped image and about 4 to put it back. We have /home in a separate partition, so there is not that much to clone. Gzipped, its maybe 5 gigs, maybe less a bit. I know it works, because It worked today, and this is not the first time I needed it. I'm not sure it handles ext4 yet, so I'm staying on 3 have fun;; >>> David Groos <djgr...@gmail.com> 11/03/09 7:11 PM >>> How's it looking Harry? And, how can you restore a system in <4 minutes? I use clonezilla and to burn the server image back onto a server it takes some 3-4 hours... I don't use partimage though--seems like that would would only repair part of the deal?
