Hi there,
I have ubuntu 12.04 that I run as a server, and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good backup utility where I can just make a disk image of the drive.
My main purpose is if the hard drive was to fail... I can just buy another hard drive (different size+make) and mount the disk image, swap it out, and continue...
1. Can anyone recommend a good way to make such a backup? (Can "dd" command do this?)
2. Will it be a problem if I just mount a backed-up disk disk image onto a new hard drive and put it into the machine, or will it have problems with the fact that it's a different hard drive (different make, size, etc...)?
Thanks a ton!
