OT: Backup Question/Solution
Hello,
I want to switch from DVDs as a backup medium to a usb flash drive. I have been using Mondo but get tired of feeding it DVD+RWs.
I purchased a 128GB flash drive. I can’t get Mondo to write to it. I want to be able to make this device bootable. Do I need it reformat it from a Windows file system to ext4? I never had to format a blank DVD previously.
Is there a better solution for backing up a home system to some sort of external media?
TIA

Not tested myself yet, but RH EL, and so CentOS, introduced support for Relax-and-Recover in version 6.8:

Based on http://relax-and-recover.org/usage/ it should be feasible… HIH, Gianluca

I don’t know if it is better, but I use BackupPC. This has an archive option to copy the latest backup to somewhere else. I use it to backup to an external drive every fortnight or so.
(I backup every night to a different hard drive on my CentOS machine.)
