The next question is how to quickly restore your system
1. ghost or true image backup / restore is easy to perform and usually very fast. One of the drawbacks I encountered before is the partition after restore may not be bootable in a multi boot environment. Very often when a partition is deleted and re-created, the order in partition table may be changed. In my case, I always write the linux grub boot loader in /dev/sda? or /dev/hda? instead of the MDR i.e. /dev/sda or dev/hda. Hence, this changes in order may result in not bootable restore
2. If I use script, I can control the location of restore and then issue command like this
grub-install --recheck
grub-install /dev/sda1
the first command shows me the bootable partition. |
