Hello,

Any advice on good software to backup a linux partition, tired of losing all my work? I asked this before on this forum and I was referred to CloneZilla. It didn't work right, I couldn't figure out how to restore the partition from an image. Any other ideas?


Thanks for the help!!!!!!

clonezilla as the easiest way if you want open source. If too complicated buy Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image.

I use rsync with crontab to back up important directories daily. Works well but it isnt as seamless as having aa program restore an image.

I use rdiff-backup (which is basically rsync plus some housekeeping). Backup is also differential, possible via network, and recovery is very easy. Backing up is one thing, recovery is something that I can only recommend to test at least once.
