Re: System or HD imaging

Is there a way to image an Ubuntu system?

I'm looking for something like Ghost on Windows ( sorry for the bad
word ). I tried using Mondo ( mondo rescue ) but it's broken.

Here's what I would like it to do:

1. Backup to CD / DVD
1. more then 1 if needed
2. Boot from the CD / DVD
3. Restore a working system
4. Maybe restore to a drive of a different size

Some of the imaging software I've looked at require a server side
setup. I don't want that. I need the final image on a CD or DVD. This
should work on Dapper, Feisty and Gutsy.


Bootcd:

run your system from cd without need for disks
Build an image of your running Debian System with the command
bootcdwrite. You can also build a bootcd ISO image via NFS on a remote
System. When you run your system from CD you do not need any disks. All
changes will be done in ram. To reuse this changes at next boot time
you can save them on FLOPPY with the command bootcdflopcp. If booting
from your CD-drive is not supported, booting from FLOPPY is possible.
It is possible to install a new system from the running CD with the
command bootcd2disk. Bootcd2disk can also find a target disk, format
it and make it bootable automatically. Bootcd also supports lilo,
grub, initrd root fs, devfs, transparent-compression ISO 9660 fs and
syslinux/isolinux.

Find it in Universe.
