whole disk backup

so far this does not work on trixbox 2.2x, dependency requirement GLIBC 2.4 not available, most likely I need to adjust the mondo/mindi packages to an earlier version as only glibc 2.3x seems to be what centos 4.5 has.

i am open to any input on this.

thanks John,

ya - they have some versioning problems, i am going to try an older set of mondo/mindi to see if it excepts the older GLIBC 2.3x that centos 4.5 has.

It seems to work great on CentOS 5. I have put it on 3 machines from 2.4-26 so far without issue. My old 1.2.3 test box also worked, but its highly hacked up with lots of mods and updates, I am not sure how well it matches the original install of 1.2.3, so its probably not a good example.

hmm -stumbled upon this http://wiki.systemimager.org if you have another nix server on the farm - most of my sites dont:(

You actually need to have the folder /backup created. Have you checked that?

I have the backup folder and I can watch the backup being done with webmin.
I will remove the folder and remake it to see if that fixes the problem, I will post the script later tonight.

Thanks again

all I get when running this is total 0??

This is how my script looks.
