how to take a install image..?
 

Hi all
i have a SuSE10.2 with Xen as a host OS and Windows OS as a guest on top of it.
I want to install SuSE enterprise version just for testing.So how can i take the image of present install so that i could retrieve back to it after i finish testing with enterprise version.

Thanks in advance

hi,
our senior member aus9 reference me with the below one
you could take images such as with www.partimage.org

cp -a fromyourimage toholdingtank. This will perserve ownerships and times and stuff and allow you to restore your image without any fuss.

Hi

Thanks for your reply..

Can you please give some more details about this as i am bit new to this environment.
Well so should i run this command from terminal and then i can install another OS without any problem and how should i revert back to my original OS when my testing is done.

Thanks
