Hi:

I have an Ubuntu Breezy Badger/ISPConfig server running fine, some days ago i need to reinstall it due a electrical failure, since this happend i was looking for a method to avoid the reinstall process and found this How To by Falko : http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_systemimager ...in server all goes nice im my IPSConfig server (client in this case) i got the following message after run apt-get update ...

When i ran

Code:

si_prepareclient --server my_server_IP

after an alert about SSH security i got this message

Can u help me to fix this problems pls....
Are there another way to get an image from my server for restoration purposes...

Thanks a lot

Hector

Code:

ls -la /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd_template

Hi

Hector

 

What's in /var/lib/systemimager?

 

Hi...

Nothing

Hector

 

That's strange... The Debian package always uses /var/lib/systemimager...

Hector

 

Falko

THANKS A LOT for your time...

Hector

 

Hello again...

Playing whit a Debian Sarge box i found that if i install the server package all goes fine in the preparation of Golden Client...i ran:

and after

And the prepareclient process goes to end whitout errors...Why???? i dont know but ill try to get an image tomorrow...

Hector

 

Might be a problem with Ubuntu then...

 

Just one more question...

I put the server to retrieve the image about 4 hours ago...and dindt finish yet..can u tell me if this is correct or i did something wrong

Hector

 

It doesn't take that long normally, maybe half an hour. Maybe a network problem or a slow connection?

 

I think is a slow connection problem... can i add a NIC to put the server into my local network to do the images?...currently im using my Internet connection ( 512 mbps) .


Hector

 

Is the server from which you're making an image in your local network?

 

Yes Falko..

Actually no, but it is in my office, now im tinking on put another NIC to make the server join my local network...this nigth ill test it. any tip for do that???
