Having wasted days trying to make GRUB work again after ghosting a disk, I bought Partition Commander today, as it was advertised as understanding GRUB when making copies.
Then I tried to copy a whole disk of Redhat 8 Linux The procedure runs okay for a few minutes, then I get a message saying that the boot sector LILO or GRUB will need to be rebuilt if the boot is "on this partition" - how should I know if it is or not when it does not say which partition it's copying?? Then I tell it to continue and a few minutes later I get "Problem: not enough RAM ... etc etc. I thought Partition Commander would work with GRUB seemlessly? is anyone familar with Partition Commander? Any suggestions much appreciated. And back to my original original question, what is the foolproof (i.e. me-proof) way of backing up a whole system for disaster recovery purposes? I can SAMBA all the files off the Linux box onto my Windows box, but then what? There must be an equivalent to Ghost that works with Linux...
