Hard disk image
by Matt Johnson 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Folks, What's the *simplest* (unexperienced!) way of taking a complete image of a SuSE 7.2 installation incase of disaster hard drive melt down? There's one drive in the machine (partitioned to default SuSE install settings). I've had a few hard rives die recently, none on important machines, but you never know. I obviously backup data daily on production machines, but it would be much easier in case of hard disk failure, to have an exact *easy* image ;) I imagine we could be up and running again in thirty minutes with such a solution? Thanks in advance... -- Matt Johnson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Can anyone suggest a "free" webmail system to use in conjunction with our email server (qmail running pop3, smtp and imap services). We have been using Horde (plenty of features) but the logs are reporting crashes which the Horde FAQ is putting down to bugs in PHP. Something written in Perl perhaps? Thanks Richard Naylor

tar... Quite literally, log in as root; <cd />; <tar -cf backup.tar *>. Then copy the resulting file to a network drive. In the event of emergency, do basic installation to new hard drive, copy tar back and restore it. 30 minutes is probably achievable, depending on speed of machine and size of installation. Or... Try Partition Image: http://www.partimage.org - looks pretty close to fully functional, particularly for your purposes, and it would be nice to have someone (else?) on the list with practical experience...
