I use Acronis at work. We have it installed on some windows servers for continual backups. We also created an acronis CD that you boot the system on using a linux live cd. Then you can make an image of the computer. While I have not tried it on a linux box, I would think that would work simply because Acronis makes bit images and does not really care what is actually on the hard drive. I have done this on DOS all the way up to server 2003 with out issue. I can try it on a linux box this weekend if you would like to make sure it works. I am thinking of making a image of our centos box prior to moving it to the new location anyway.
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 10:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [dstar_digital] Backup Befuddled I know that it's really simple for you LINUX Gurus, but while I'm learning, I'm running out of reading time. Here's the situation. I also would like to create a backup or self restoring image of the Gateway Computer on DVD. I've read enough MONDO stuff to gag a maggot, tried to install and run MONDO only to learn that there are a bunch of other programs that must be installed for it to operate under CentOS. Okay, abort on MONDO and go for ACRONIS I go to the ACRONIS Site to find what I need, and when I finally find "ACRONIS True Image Agent for LINUX" I find that CentOS is not listed as oneof the operating systems. Can someone please guide me to and through what I need and need to do? Contact offline might be best. E-mail is wa3pnt at w7din.org Thanks for any help (cause I really need it).
