I also have another 100 GB of unused space which I can use to create a partition. I can also save to sda6 which is my /home partition where I have more than 300 GB space. The partition I wanted to use is sda2 of my hdd which is a ntfs partition for my dual boot win7. Now, if I understand you correctly, I need to mount a real partition before saving the image. So, my current problem is not to partimage a live mounted partition, hence I am trying to use the SystemRescueCd. Eventually I would like to save the / and /boot images to another computer in my home network, but that is another experiment for me. I have used partimage to create an image of the / and /boot to another partition (/mnt/windows, which is which my dual boot win7 is), and indeed have used it 2 times already to recover due to "kernel failure messages". I am still experimenting and learning with lenny, and makes mistakes resulting in either unusable (meaning unbootable) lenny or many times "kernel failure" messages. I do intent to buy an external hdd soley for backing up my personal data such as my thousands of photos (I got them now in 2 computers, this one and an older winxp). We've all been there ourselves at one time or another. And we don't want you to have a backup that's of no use when you need it, do we?Īnyway, hope that helps, and please let us know if you need further assistance. But since you're looking to backup your system, presumably because you may need to recover from a serious problem someday, you really should study up a bit so that you have all this down pat, as recovering from backup is usually going to be more complicated than making that backup in the first place. Please don't take this the wrong way, but these are kind of basic questions you've asked - and there's nothing wrong with that at all. Do you have a second hard drive installed in your PC? Or an external HD? You really should, but if not you can mount another partition on /dev/sda and write to that, but again as a backup solution that isn't ideal. Since this is a backup, it makes the most sense to write the partimage output image file to an entirely different drive than /dev/sda, in case the entire drive should fail. So the first thing you need to be sure of before running partimage is that you have a mounted partition to write to the output image file cannot be saved on the source partition, /dev/sda5, or to some directory that is just part of the ram filesystem used by the LiveCD. in the command I gave, which is just a random example, it would be the filesystem on /dev/sdc1, with mount point /media/sdc1. You need to have an actual mounted partition to write the file to. I cannot find the saved image file in /mnt/windows/liinux. It saved the image, and I can see it in terminal. I followed your command here, except gave a destination file as /mnt/windows/linux-backup-partimg.gz It's been a good while since I've used partimage, but I assume the syntax is the same you specify the source partition (/dev/sda5), the mounted partition where you want the image saved, and give the image a name:Ĭode: Select all partimage -z1 -o -d save /dev/sda5 /media/sdc1/ an external USB hard drive - or another partition on /dev/sda. You need to save the image to either a partition on another drive - e.g.

I tried to mount the real /home, but it would not let me (in terminal), so I cannot copy or move the image into the real partition. How do I move this image to the real hdd in terminal. I clicked the home/ (yes, this is how it is shown, and not /home), and I can see only my saved image, nothing else.

When I looked at it (with a software called emelFM2 that is in the cd), it listed all the partitions.

My problem is that it saves the image to a file in home/. This is what the partimage website says, to use a live cd or use SystemRescueCd.
