Ubuntu :: Equivalent To System Restore Like Windows ?

Mar 14, 2010

Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to system restore like windows?

I just want to know what the best way is to save everything , as in settings and programs etc. , just in case there's some sort of major failure.

Any ghosting programs that will allow me to save the last known good configuration? or clone the entire drive?

Since I've been using Ubuntu I haven't run into any major screwups like with windows , but there are some times I've installed it and it took a while to get different things working. I don't want to have to go through the whole process again if there's ever a major malfunction.

Ubuntu Security :: System Restore Available Out There In Which Is Equivalent Of RollbackRX?

May 15, 2010

I am new in Ubuntu. I wanted to know if there is a System Restore available out there in which is equivalent of RollbackRX [URL].. freeware or shareware.

RollbackRX used to backup/restore OS system changes.
It is able to backup/restore system in less than 1 minute.
It is able to backup with a little amount of disk size.
Feature Needed:
Pre-Boot Snapshot Backup

[Code]...

I currently used this application in my Windows XP system. And I am happy having it. I used to modify my XP a lot and sometimes forcing myself to restore my system (using rollbackrx) because It is unbootable/freezing/sudden restart. It does save me a lot of time, especially those critical moments. I am hopeful that there is available variant of this one for Ubuntu.

OpenSUSE :: VirtualBox Windows System Restore?

Feb 11, 2010

It generally works fine - a couple of issues which I'm trying to get resolved elsewhere.My question is this: My laptop currently dual-boots Windows 7 and openSUSE, with openSUSE being the default. I have XP as a guest under VB. Is it possible for me to create a system image of the Windows 7 operating system, install W7 as a guest under Linux and then restore the backed-up OS so that I would have W7 as a guest (no more XP) but with the same configuration / apps as the original OS?In summary, this is wat I want to achieve:urrent:Dual-boot openSUSE 11.1 & Windows 7VBOx Guest = Windows XP Desired:Dual-boot openSUSE 11.1 & Windows 7VBox Guest = Windows 7 (identical config as the dual-boot version)

Ubuntu :: Equivalent To Windows Shadow Copy?

Mar 29, 2011

Here at work we've made very good use of Server 2003's Shadow Copy service, which lets me restore users' files quickly and easily using the Previous Versions software--yet takes minimal resources and storage space on the server. I've also heard that the service may be available to users in Windows 7. Is there an equivalent of this in Ubuntu? Something I could set up that would snapshot files on my hard drive every so often, and let me recover deleted files or earlier versions of files?

Ubuntu :: Have The Equivalent Of A Windows .exe Self-installable File?

Jun 14, 2011

Does Ubuntu have the equivalent of a Windows .exe self-installable file? If so, what is it called? I seem to remember installing LimeWire on Ubuntu a while back and the file I downloaded was self-installable. Is there a place where Ubuntu programs are available for download as packages that install themselves?Why are most programs for Linux not self-installable, like .exe installers in Windows? Is there a security advantage to most programs not being available for download a single automatic install file? It would be much easier for me to go to a program's website, download a single file that installs by itself, and be done with it.

Also, why is it that, unless you install a program in Ubuntu using synaptic package manager, the program cannot be uninstalled under GUI? I really love Ubuntu, but find that even having simple control over installing and uninstalling programs is a real pain. I would love to go to LibreOffice's website, download a single file for Ubuntu that would install the entire program, install it, and be done with it.

Ubuntu :: No Equivalent To Windows US International Keyboard Layout?

Oct 8, 2010

The only thing I miss about Windows is the US International keyboard setting. Is there really no equivalent in Ubuntu?

The current Ubuntu US International keyboard setting is just not the same. "whodoesitwant" explained the difference last year [URL], and it has been asked about before [URL]. Does anyone know if there are plans to implement a Windows-like keyboard setting?

This may seem petty, but it's a real nuisance if you've learned to touch type in Windows. At the moment the best I can find in Ubuntu is the US International (AltGr dead keys) layout, but it's awkward and slow using the right-hand alt key.

Ubuntu :: Windows Equivalent - Logon Batch Scripts?

Sep 5, 2010

I have a logon script set in the startup folder "All Users > Startup > logon.bat" and it nicely mounts network drives from a Windows Server 2003 computer. The script is as follows:

<logon.txt (.bat) attachment>

Very simple. Now what I need to know:

- What is a batch equivalent and what commands will I need?

- Where is/how do I use the equivalent to Startup folder

- Can I get it to mount in the Computer folder or will it be mounted through root ("/") or can I have it easily accessible (maybe the Desktop)?

- Is there a way I can get the equivalent to the Windows password vault (remember passwords for certain addresses) and;

- If not, can I get the script to request Username and Password from the user for the mapping?

- Can I write to the folders if the user has permissions to write (had trouble with smbmount doing this)

Is there any Linux equivalent to Windows Live Writer? I've got the Wordpress for iPhone app on my iPod and Windows Live Writer on Windows.

Ubuntu :: Backup System A, To Restore System B?

Jan 25, 2011

Recently I've backupped my entire /home folder on my laptop with grsynch trough ssh.Since I already had a simply text file containing all installed programs, I figured 'then, when i go from the backup trough my desktop, all my program settings will be restored if i run the txt file to install all those programs first.So i installed al programs, then i went from backup to /home on desktop, logged out and back in. Started up a random program (tried thunderbird and filezilla) and no settings were to be found.In retrospect, docky did start, but didnt have all the launchers i had on my laptop. so that could have been a clue.

Ubuntu :: How To Create 10.4 System Restore

Aug 11, 2010

First off, Ubuntu 10.4 is working great on my new laptop and I really enjoy it. And it is super fast. My question is now that I have everything all set up, all my packages, my windows settings, and my ATI driver, my updates, etc., I want to be able to keep it all. Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction or give me some better terminology. Would love to learn more about distros in the future. For now I just don't want to have to do all this updating again. There are a few things I have found like Clonezilla and others, but they seem to be a bit advanced and more for servers.

Ubuntu :: System Restore Problem

Sep 8, 2010

A friend has a netbook running a dual boot setup with Ubuntu (9.10, I think) and Windows XP. She recently decided to run system restore on the Windows partition and can't boot into Windows anymore. I told her I would help her fix it tonight, but before she gets here I figured it would probably be helpful to ask if this is a well known issue and if anyone has any suggestions on the best method of fixing it.

I planned on first making sure the grub is targeting the Windows partition correctly, but I suspect the problem could be that the system restore point she used was one from before she had a linux partition. If that is the case does anyone know if this could potentially destroy the windows installation?

Ubuntu :: Restore Windows 7 From Recovery?

Nov 25, 2010

I have a sony vaio netbook and installed ubuntu on it some months ago After some weeks windows 7 crashed and stopped booting I tried to recover it but still no success. When i bought it it had one partition only (plus the first one for windows recovery) When I installed ubuntu I partitioned my hard drive at my pleasure as you can see in attached image When I try to recover windows 7 it says it "can't find the windows partition or it's too small" Since 80 gb is not too small, i bet it can't recognized the partition anymore. Can anybody suggest a way to let it recognize my sda2 ? Does it have to have the "C:" label or "Windows something"? (I can only name it C without colons) Does it have to formatted FAT in a particular way ?

Ubuntu :: 11.04 - How To Restore Windows Bootloader

Jul 4, 2011

My setup is like this:
* Installed Windows 7 on primary (SATA) hard drive
* Installed Ubuntu 11.04 on secondary (IDE) hard drive

I've worked with Wubi before, and I liked it so much, I decided to go full scale with Ubuntu. However, I think I've missed an option in the setup, because Grub has now taken over my bootloader. I tried reverting to the Windows loader with EasyBCD, but booting Ubuntu from there is impossible, since it doesn't show itself. By the way, I don't really understand EasyBCD, so that makes it even harder. Anyway, what I'm trying to accomplish here, is to get a bootloader which uses Windows as default and Ubuntu as secondary OS. How do I do this?
