I want to create images of my Linux System With SystemImager. Setting up the SystemImager-client: I added this line to my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://download.systemimager.org/debian stable main Followed by the commands: apt-get update apt-get install systemimager-client si_prepareclient --server <ipaddress imageserver> then i received the following errors: Using "sfdisk" to gather information about disk: /dev/sda Using "sfdisk" to gather information about disk: /dev/sdb rsync: link_stat "/usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/initrd_template/." failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(789) Couldn't rsync -a /usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/initrd_template/ /tmp/.systemimager.4/. at /usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/UseYourOwnKernel.pm line 58. server1:/# By the way: i have noticed that others have also this unsolved problem. Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4222 Is there any solution? Hans
I don't know one. I guess I have to play around with this when I find the time. Seems as if things have changed in SystemImager...
Problems with setting up a backup system Yes, there is something wrong i guess. I hope there will be a solution for it soon. I am surprised that i have so much problems with setting up backup-systems for my server. For example i have still an open thread about rdiff-backup. It works now but rdiff still does not make a backup of /var.
For incremental, snapshot-like backups I us rsync (because I couldn't get rdiff to work together on a debian and a suse machine). I make backups every 6h.
