Which “imaging” software should I use for Manjaro?
By “imaging” I mean preserving into a file the state of an OS partition at a given time so that if, an insoluble problem should occur, you could at least revert to that earlier time.
For Windows, I have used Ghost, Acronis True Image, and Macrium Reflect.
For Linux general search has turned up such names as the dd command and Clonezilla.
If imaging is a concept for Windows, and there is better practice or approach for Manjaro, I would also like to hear about that. Thanks.
is my personal choice while it’s able to generate a 100%-clone of a drive but there are a whole of other different choices that might be more comfortable.
the only advice ( learned it by the hard way) is to use a external device that is only used for backup and restoring and is disconnected if not in use so it cannot be harmed/destroyed if a technical issue happens.
I’ve been using it for a couple of years now, doing an image about once a month. Done several restores and it has always worked. The developer is also very accommodating.
