Hi guys,... before I jump straight in and maybe trash my system,... having done a complete backup of my ubuntu disk,.. ext4, swap, ext4, FAT32 partitions,.... plus Grub Boot sectors....
Will Full Version 15 restore and rebuild a lost unformatted disk???,.... as one "restore" task,....
If I get you right, you have performed the following tasks:
Back up the entire hard disk with Linux installation
Now you're planning to:
Restore the created archive to different hard disk device
What exactly do you mean by "restore and rebuild a lost unformatted disk"?
If you want to perform Undelete partition on the unallocated space, it will only be possible on the source disk, or if the unallocated space was backed up or copied (in HDD Raw Copy mode) as well.
Product is backup and Recovery v16,.. been executes of an ISO image cd....
>Back up the entire hard disk with Linux installation:
Yes Full disk image
>Now you're planning to:
>Restore the created archive to different hard disk device
Essentially yes,.. although I did try and restore just the main disk root partition/filesystem
this gave error and failed.. "file system has allocation errors due to cross linked files
Don't quiet understand this,.. as I could ( I think ) dd a backup back,....
As restoring root partition failed I endeavoured to retore entire disk,.. as other partitions had no useful data on...
On restoring entire disk,.. this to failed,.. as such saying I needed to restore boot stuff,...
This I did using latest System-Rescue,... although this did work it appeared to install a debian boot and there was some funny file left,.. which caused boot to pause for 90 seconds before timing out,...
I therefore started from scratch and rebuilt from scratch...
From you final comments do I just have to specify RAW copy mode...
