Recently I became aware that both Western Digital and Seagate have free versions of Acronis True Image for cloning, backing up and restoring hard drives and backing up and restoring partitions. I downloaded the WD version at http://cache.websupport.wdc.com/atiwd/tih_s_e.exe. Once I started reading I came across the fact that Acronis recommends setting up bootable usb drives with syslinux and then putting two acronis files on them and a syslinux.cfg for a bootable usb restore system. I thought aha! If they can boot from syslinux I should be able to boot from Grub. Sure enough I: 1. Installed tih_s_e.exe under windows to C: 2. rebooted to Puppy431 3. created a folder on sda1 called acronis 4. copied kernel.dat and ramdisk.dat from /mnt/home/Program Files/Common Files/Acronis/TrueimageHome to /mnt/home/acronis 5. Edited my menu.1st to include:
Now I can boot directly into Acronis. Backup any or all of my partitions. Restore any or all of my partitions. I have also setup a bootable flash drive as an emergency restore if things get really bad. See http://www.acronis.com/r/support/en/kb/388/flash_syslinux.html I presume the Seagate version, http://www.seagate.com/support/discwizard/DiscWizardSetup.en.exe will work the same. WD says theirs is only for their harddrives. I haven't tried it on anything else. _________________ SFS-TCZ_Linker, http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/choicepup/ user=puppy, password=linux |
