Hi RHELers,

Simple question from a RHEL newbie, how to backup and restore (in case needed) an RHEL box? How can i create a bootable tape?

Regards,
Khalid
 
Annihilannic, the file was 9GB!

exsnafu,

I'm getting this error when i boot from CloneZilla. Any suggetions to go around it?

Code:
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(9,1)

BadBigBen,

Thanks again for continuing your support BadBigBen!

unfortunately tar won't give me a bootable backup!

worth trying any way!

Regards,
Khalid
 
I feel that i'm left with myown!!!

BadBigBen and exsnafu have stars for your valuable answers

Any further suggestions?

Regards,
Khalid
 
Khalidaaa - you may be better off with a commercial app, e.g. Paragon Partition Magic or Acronis True Image, both have bootable CD's that can restore any image created with them, provided they have the correct drivers to access the drives...

but I am NOT SURE if they support LVM, at all...

so it might be a good idea to look at what exsnafu suggested, and look at CLONEZILLA...

other than that I am out of ideas...
