I have a 16GB Ubuntu Webserver running on a Transcend SMART CF chip (Yes I know all the reasons not to). I want to move that entire system (OS, Files and structure) to an external bootable HD that will probably be closer to 100GB. What's the easiest way to do this and have it be plug and play. By which I mean I can then plug the drive into a new system and boot it up just as it was running on the old system.

I'm thinking about cloning a system without having physical access to its HDD. Is it possible to simply copy the contents of the filesystem (using ssh/scp) to a freshly formatted HDD (maintaining the source fs-type and -geometry)?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a computer-based device used in my Ophthalmology office that uses a Compact Flash card as its primary hard drive. This device, and the CF card, are Linux based, and so the card has Linux partitions on it. I need to be able to clone this CF card, using a Windows computer, onto another CF card, to replace one that has failed in one of these devices. Neither Windows XP nor Vista is able to do anything with it.
I use Casper to clone Windows hard drives and partitions which are FAT32, NTFS, etc., but it does not recognize or work with Linux partitions. I need a simple, hopefully free or inexpensive, program that I can install on a Windows XP or Vista computer, which can clone the good Linux based CF card (which would be connected via a USB Reader, or a built-in Media reader) onto a brand-new unformatted CF card that I would buy, and similarly connected.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to clone a 160GB hard drive with Linux Mint 9 (not more than 10GB used) to a 30GB SSD that is partitioned carefully (aligned to cylinder boundaries) and is currently running Ubuntu (which I wish to overwrite with Linux Mint 9). The SSD has a /boot partition, / and swap. The source (160 GB) does not have a separate boot partition. Can anyone help me fill in the steps below? /dev/sdc will be the source (160GB) and /dev/sda is the target (with partitions 1,2 and swap on 5).
make a copy of /etc/fstab from the target drive before proceeding. Ready the target partitions. Can I reuse the existing destination partitions on the SSD? Ready the filesystems on each of the target partitions. /boot is ext2, / is ext4 and swap is already set up too. As I said, all contain data (Ubuntu) that I wish to overwrite. So what steps are needed here? Do I need to erase anything (files, etc.) before the copy/clone? next, use dd to copy MBR (right?) And exclude partition table:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sda1 count=1 bs=446
Mount the source and destination drives:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/source
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot_target
mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /mnt/root_target
I suppose I can leave the swap partition on the target untouched. Copy the files from the source partition to the destination
Code:
cp -a /mnt/source/boot /mnt/boot_target
cp -a /mnt/source/ /mnt/root_target
then I assume I go to /mnt/root_target and delete the /boot directory, right? Change /etc/fstab to reflect the new partitions. I mount by label. Will my partition labels be intact after this? Do I have to make any changes to GRUB? Anything else?
I just finish setting Fedora 10 system including all the config that I like. I back up the image by using dd command.
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disk1.img
Now, I already have an image. how do I clone this image to second unit by using PXE boot server? I already have PXE boot server and it works since I installed Fedora from network (PXE boot).
I'm working on a SBC9261 board with touchscreen, running Linux 2.6.24./dev/ttyS0 is the standard output and /dev/tty0 is the console on the touchscreen.What I would like to do is to clone the standard output to the touchscreen, so the console would be displayed twice.
It would be like :
Code:
~ $ ./whatEverScript > /dev/tty0
but the output would also appear on /dev/ttyS0.

9.3GB EISA Configuration
65GB NTFS (the C: drive as windows calls it)
I am going to clone the entire hard disk with clonezilla, I am not sure what the EISA partition is and if it can be cloned(then restored) using clonezilla. I did google it, its probably some kind of a recovery partition of some sort.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have automated backups running on my ubuntu box using rsnapshot (rsync) basically following this tutorial. My concern is how to restore if everything is lost. Since it does not seem that I can backup the entire drive and that I have to choose individual folders and some like proc/ cause problems.
Currently in my rsnapshot.conf I have (see below). Is there a way to just clone the entire drive? Or should I not do this? Questions:
1, Can I backup in a way such that it is a clone of the drive so that it can be swapped with the current drive?
2, If not yes to clone, If I had a total drive failure would I install a basic ubuntu and then replace all the files with the backups?
3, Anything I might not know about that I should.

I decided to clone my OS partition to another hard drive using dd (without any special options). I created the target partition before cloning (25GB) but it shows up as 21GB (source/original partition's size) in df, as well as ext2 instead of ext4.

Installed Sidux over LennySidux didn't want to take my usual username, because a folder with that name existed in my home directory.So, I just mounted the home partition and changed the name of my home directory from shay to shay1.Don't know what that did or didn't do permission wise to the files in my old home directory, but I've got a few unowned files floating around my home directory anyway that have been dragged in from old harddrives and such.

Then is says some of the files are not found including a encryption signer key not found.
I do no know the next step I need to take. Is this becasue it is running off a different hard drive? I do not understand a bzImage too well, but does it have anything to do with that file?
