Quoting Federico A. Gregorio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):Hello there.
i'm backing up my precious server into another hdd, and im wondering what are the steps to make that backup hdd the exact copy of my server (not including the /home directory). the server is in an 80GB hdd, / partition is 20GB, 600MB is used; 60GB is alloted to /home). the backup hdd is 10GB.
i'm a dd user but as far as i know is that i need to have identical drives to make a sucessful replica (done dd a few months back). i've also tried dump + restore but some files are not included/missing (ie apache).
any ideas how?
I personally like using rsync. http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/kb/200
In my case, i am using mkcdrec ( Make CD-ROM Recovery ). This will make an exact replica of any linux box system and with your requirement it can exclude any directory you may want to exclude during the process in its Config.sh . Try looking it at http://www.freshmeat.net . It works for me :-)
