Backing up a Slackware server

technician · 03-09-2005, 09:23 AM

I'm looking to create images of my Slackware installation on my web server so I can quickly slap the image back on the machine in case something goes wrong during and update, etc. Are there any tools similar to Acronis TrueImage for Linux, or are there better ways to go about a backup?

Have you looked at this?

That and a little scriping should get you into the ballpark-- what a great idea for a live cd...

Thanks for the links. I did some further research and came across http://www.partimage.org/, which looks like it might be better supported and have a few more features. <- For those that might come across this thread on Google.

Thanks again!
