Snapshot backup CentOS

bostonmike · Jan 30, 2014

Does anyone know of a utility that can take snapshots of an entire install, OS and everything, and store it to tape, or disk or whatever? Any info would be appreciated.

CloneZilla. Boot from the CD, create an image of the entire drive.

I have used CloneZilla and I like it. I should have included that I would like to do a "hot" backup while the server is running. Is this even possible?

Use the "dump" utility:

Rsync can use snapshots

skittle, will rsync snap the os as well while it's running?

Yes

rsync is very powerful

also look at rsnapshot (uses rsync)
