Da PoliArch.

The aim of PoliArch is to provide a simple and fast way to manage your computer, this page shows some of these operations.

Save the partition table

In this example we use /dev/sda as reference (the same procedure can be used on another device).

sfdisk

# sfdisk -d /dev/sda > sda.sf 

fdisk

# fdisk -l /dev/sda > sda.f (this backup can't be restored automatically but can be useful if you need to do it manually)

dd

# dd if=/dev/sda of=sda.mbr count=100 bs=512

Save the partitions' content

PoliArch provides three powerful tools for the partitions' backup. The first is partimage, the second is fsarchiver, the latter is dd, they are very powerful and versatile.

In this example we use /dev/sda1 as reference partition (the same procedure can be used on another device/partition).

Partimage

# partimage -b -d save /dev/sda1 sda1

For advanced use, it's possible to type:

# partimage --help

FSArchiver

# fsarchiver -v savefs ./sda1.fsa /dev/sda1

For advanced use, it's possible to consult:

dd

# dd if=/dev/sda1 | pv | dd of=./sda1.img

Restore the partition table

sfdisk

# cat sda.sf | sfdisk /dev/sda

dd

# dd if=sda.mbr of=/dev/sda count=100 bs=512 ; partprobe

Restore the partition content

Partimage

# partimage -b -d restore /dev/sda1 sda1.000

For advanced use, it's possible to type:

# partimage --help

FSArchiver

# fsarchiver -v restfs ./sda1.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1

For advanced use, it's possible to consult:

dd

# dd if=sda1.img | pv |dd of=/dev/sda1
