This is ZE problem w/ your distro, cycles are too short, meaning you have
to upgrade often (every 6 months IIRC) to avoid further problems if you
jump several upgrades; this is why it is almost never used for servers
except for LTS versions…

You could use something like: http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/ that have
a very good manual and can also be burned on a USB key (it supplies the
binary for that.)
It has driveimage - do NOT use it if your FS isn't in the list, see
the package info as it is part of Debian - and FSarchiver, usable in any
circumstance as it does a block backup and is therefore FS agnostic.

[BackupPC-users] Upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04

2017-09-12 Thread Gerald Brandt 

Hi,

Has anyone done an upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 on an active BackupPC 
system? Normally, I'd clonezilla the system drive before I did an upgrade, but 
it's not working right on my Linux raid 1 boot drives.
