[ SOLVED ] Backup software for LL2

[paulette83]

I suggest you try CloudBacko Pro, it is a best backup software. It is the fastest, secure and more reasonable from other Backup solutions. It supports Windows, Linux, Mac, etc. It is best for me and helped me a lot when I faced lost problems. You can also try this. Thanks

Another "flexible" option if you are looking at "Offsite" Backup

CRASHPLAN
http://www.code42.com/crashplan/

CRASH Plan App give's you options for:
Local Backup at Home to an external storage device
Remote Backup to any PC(Family/Friends/Office etc, needs Remote PC needs CRASHPLAN)
or to
CRASHPLANS own Cloud Service

They have a Linux App option

Hi!

I'm using Seafile as my file back up system.
Its a cloud based system running on a very old computer (with Linux of course).

Take a look @ seafile.com

Hello!

As a general rule of thumb, you don't want to mix Debian and Ubuntu/LL packages. The two are related to one another, but are not close enough to each other to be able to mix Debian and Ubuntu packages, and not potentially run into problems requiring a reinstall to fix...

Hi All,

Something to look at, for your "Backup - Toolset"
Allow you to backup specific things that are useful for re-installation.

I have suggested to the Dev to add a "Configuration - Files" option.
Allow you to add specific files that you may change during install/set-up or just to get things working.

Got my stack of USB's today.

Do I use the Debian or Ubunto version of Clonezilla, please?

Tony

It would be Ubuntu.... Dave

I'm backing up Mint version 13 on one machine and Linux Lite v2 on another.

I'm also using the Yumi system to give me multi-boot sticks.

Thanks,

And boot- repair is added like another .iso I assume.

Tony

Yes, you just keep adding Distos/ISO's until you say no.

Then you can boot the stick, select unlisted >


Then select the item you want to boot:


Edit:
Just to confirm, I just re-ran YUMI, selected another iso, rescatux
It detected existing items on the USB Stick, and just added the new one:

How do you create your multi boot USB stick?

Is this the solution?

Hi,

I have only used the YUMI option.

Download it to somewhere you want, it's just an exe to run, NO install.

Run it, and slection the option you want.
If it's a new stick, select format the first time you use it.
Select either a distro/iso from the list, or select unlisted(Syslinux) if you have the ISO's stored local.
Then proceed.
When it's finished, select NEXT
It will ask if you want to add another Distro/ISO
Select YES
Repeat, but do not select the Format option.

If you now put the stick in your PC/Laptop and boot from it,
You will get an option to Boot from 1st HD or from the Distros/ISO's that you just added.

It's harder to explain than work through doing it.

I found this website but the downloader seems to be hidden or broken.

Hello!

Redo Backup will also back up the entire drive and its structure. This is especially helpful when multiple operating systems reside on the drive. You can install both Redo and boot-repair on a multiboot USB stick...
