| Post subject: | Can I image KnoppMyth afer setup? |
With Knoppmyth, how would I be able to make an image (bootable) of my Linux drive after myth is installed and I get everything set? I would like to do this for a backup and to make it easier to try new things. This would allow me to test new setups, but return my system to usable status a the end of the day. I see some options in the myth setup settings, but I don't see anything that says image drive. Thanks for your input.. |

I think this is beyond the scope of KM. I'm sure it can be done. Try googling for this. |

It can be done, check out this howto using Mondo. http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... erverToDvd Or you could use a tool like Symantec Ghost or Ghost for Linux, keep in mind with Ghost you have to repair lilo to make it bootable after an image. http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... ryDiskette |

Interesting... sorry, maybe I didn't ask my questions correctly. Let me make some points. I see item to back up KM in the menu setting, and I see item to copy to dvd, but I don't see item that backs up your KM system (I am not sure I understand exactly what is it doing). My issue is that for a lot of people the install process consists of many steps, upgrades, fixes etc. And if you try to upgrade something, you could take your system down for days. I would think there would be an options (or plugin) avaliable for KM to image you KM install after you have it all set up. Of course you couldn't take a boat load of movies, you might have to burn them or something before hand. So, maybe I should of asked, how to back up my installation to protect it after I get KM set up and working on a machine? And how would I restore it? Maybe with the burning item I saw in he menu, I would burn certain directories to a dvd or CD (but I wouldn't know which ones), and then if I need to restore, I would reinstall KM and then replace those directories. Hopefully this makes sense, and hopefully I rescoped this to KM. Thanks, |
