Linux Backup Strategy - Ver 2
Technical Papers
Written by Tim Bonesho   

Introduction


Since the publication of version 1 of the backup strategy in 2008, a number of changes have occurred within Linux operating systems. Most notably, the support for the Windows NTFS file system has become more commonplace. Additionally, Linux has moved from the ext3 to ext4 file system as the defacto standard. These two changes have necessitated this backup strategy upgrade.

A problem has been detected with the fsarchiver application. Specifically, restoration of ext4 partitions stalls near the end of the restore. Upgrading to SystemRescue ver 1.6.4 x86 resolves this problem.

If you have created backups in ext4 file systems with an earlier version of SystemRescue, it is strongly recommended that you re-backup with the version mentioned above.

I will update the Backup Strategy at my earliest opportunity.
