I have my system set up nice and am running flawlessly .......... so what is a good back up procedure so that I can quickly get my system back up and running should i break stuff? The last thing I want to do is have to reload, try to remember everything I did and re-emerge EVERYTHING.
I've seen some disk imaging stuff flying around but they don;t seem to support reiserfs ........... anyone got any suggestions? Thanks. |

You can use partimage to make a backup of your linux system...
http://www.partimage.org/
and you can find it in portage

thanks ........... anything special I have to do to emerge it?
Okay I found out that I have to use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and such but it will not compile........... problem with this version is that if I boot off the CD it doesn't see my SATA drives. |

You can try to use it from a knoppix CD, the last version (3.4) uses the 2.6.4 kernel... with a little luck the S ATA is compiled in the kernel or can be loaded as module...
good luck

An other option is to only back up your home directory, /etc, and /var/cache/edb/world. That way, if you need to reinstall, you install the base system, then copy your backups of the home directory, /etc, and the world file, then 'emerge -u world', which installs every other application you had.

Actually I found a VERY nice solution from herehttp://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/g4u/
It compressed my gentoo install to about 6 gb and put it up on a my internal FTP server in abbout 45 minutes........
All in all it worked very well for me. Only problem is I had to put in a 3com 3c905b as my on-board nic (ASUS k8v deluxe) wasn't detected.
Those looking for a good solution should check it out. |

is there a way of getting partimage, because i wanna do it for my windows as well,this is the output :
Code: |
RAIDEN root # ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~amd64" emerge partimage
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "partimage" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/partimage-0.6.2 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-apps/partimage-0.6.4 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-apps/partimage-0.6.4-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

I agree with awn4500 - I get the *exact* output when trying to emerge partimage. I have added "sys-apps/partimage ~amd64" to /etc/portage/package.keywords and it still won't emerge...what's going on ?? |

help is much appreciated | It's ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, not ACCEPT_KEYWORD. That said, please don't go nuts and mess up your system emerging all sorts of broken packages now. _________________ Petition for Better 64-bit ATI Drivers - Sign Here

| Hello,
I have tried to get partimage to build on my box. Are the tips
above still valid. I tried several combinations of those 3 edits to
the portage config (one being on the cmd line) but have not hit
upon the correct one yet.
I'm on amd64.
Thanks!

Hey,
i got nowhere with the partimage-gentoo combination, so now i have a recovery CD on standby. And everything works perfectly from that. But still trying to run partimage from my gentoo. Will keep you posted. _________________ awn out |
