Thanks for the guide. I have your updated version, and it's clarified a number of things for me. But I've run into a file system permission problem in creating the archive.
I'm using a recent System Rescue CD (1.5.5), and using fsarchiver. I've tried 2 different target file systems on different drives, but get the same error message for both:
Code:
[errno=30, Read-only file system]:
archwriter1 C#116, archwriter_create():
cannot create archive /mnt/target/backup-sdb5.fsa
I'm attempting to backup sdb5. The first target I tried was /dev/sda1, an internal drive and boot volume. The second was /dev/sdb1, an external USB connected drive (and the same drive with the Ubuntu partition I want to back up.)
I've tried manually to change permissions using chmod, but the system changes them back to read only! I've tried to use sudo, but I'm told that command isn't available, and to use _sudo. (When I try that, I get some output which is unintelligible, to me at least.)
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.
