partimage (backup system)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Partimage is opensource disk backup software. It saves partitions having
|
||
|
|
a supported filesystem on a sector basis to an image file. Although it
|
||
|
|
runs under Linux, Windows and most Linux filesystems are supported. The
|
||
|
|
image file can be compressed to save disk space and transfer time and
|
||
|
|
can be split into multiple files to be copied to CDs or DVDs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Partimage has a textmode user interface, plus non-interactive batch
|
||
|
|
mode operation. It supports these filesystems: ext2, ext3, reiserfs,
|
||
|
|
fat16, fat32, hpfs, jfs, xfs, ufs, hfs, ntfs. It does NOT support ext4
|
||
|
|
or btrfs. Users needing a tool like this for ext4 or btrfs are advised
|
||
|
|
to try fsarchiver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The daemon (partimaged) is included, but the SlackBuild author hasn't
|
||
|
|
tested it. Read /usr/doc/partimage-0.6.9/README.partimaged and proceed at
|
||
|
|
your own risk. One thing not mentioned there is that partimaged requires
|
||
|
|
a dedicated user account called partimag.
