System backup restore replication

System backup restore replication


After Ive spent quite a while configuring and tweaking the system it is a natural thought to save its state so that if anything goes wrong I could restore it back.
My requirements were:
  1. free and simple solution
  2. fast backup/restore
I was using acronis true image for my windows system, but on linux theres a free and great tool that can do the job - fsarchiver. It is not installed by default so you have to install it via synaptic/apt-get
It really is simple and great, can backup separate folders and the whole fs.. To backup the whole system I run it from the bootable media.
  1. Preparation. Get rescue disk from here. Burn it or create a bootable usb drive.
  2. Boot from the media. Mount the drive that will hold the backup image.
  3. Backup: $ fsarchiver savefs -j 2 -v ~/flash.fsa /dev/sdd1
  4. Restore: $ fsarchiver restfs /data/flash.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sdd1
-j option enables the usage of 2 CPUs, -v is for more information during the execution.
