so just change it to which one you need. if you want to archive
several partitions just list them like so:<br>
<br>
<font face="DejaVu Sans"> fsarchiver -A -a -v -j2 -o savefs
/<backup directory>/system-backup-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.fsa
/dev/sda1</font> /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1 <br>
<br>
it will put them in the single .fsa archive.</blockquote>
wow, that is some impressive compression!! my /dev/sdb1 ( / root
filesystem for fedora) is 13GB, but the fsa backup is 3.6 GB!!<br>
<br>
note the man page entry:<br>
WARNING<br>
fsarchiver is still in development, don't use it for
critical data yet.<br>
30 December 2009 <br>
<br>
long development cycle..<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
LOL! yeah, but I use Debian so long development cycles have
traditionally been the norm. :D<br>
<br>
be aware that the mbr will need to be backed up. fsarchiver doesn't
do it as yet (possibly later as was mentioned in a post).<br>
<br>
I run my OpenMediaVault off a USB thumb drive and didn't think about
the mbr until the drive quit. That's when I made the script.<br>
<br>
there's no better motivation than drive failure to get you thinking
about how good your backups are...<br>
