| 410383 | 2005-12-05 03:50:00 | Heyas... I am wanting to backup my Gentoo install, pref to CD, if not possible; then tarred to another partition from which I can untar. What apps/scripts are there to do this. I know of one in the Gentoo forums, doesnt work for me (tried it a few times, keep getting the same as the last poster in that thread) Will Nortons Ghost do what I want (if so which version.. does it work definately with Gentoo?), or any other app for that matter? I want to be able to muck around with Gentoo, knowing that if I do something that screws it, that I have a backup that will give me full working system in less than 2 days I don't care about the mbr getting backed up... thats an easy fixer upper - just my main install (/ and /boot .. both seperate partitions) |

| 410386 | 2005-12-05 19:36:00 | Jen: have you tried G4L? Is it any good? Chilling_Silence: yeah Love suggested Mondo-rescue; but its hard-masked still, and I don't want to screw a newly installed sys with it |
