Re: Some backup and UEFI questions
Hi, For backing up a complete drive i use Clonezilla. Works well and is accessible. Clonezilla Live boots off a usb stick or cd. Its basically debian with an automatically starting clonezilla. https://clonezilla.org/downloads/download.php?branch=testing Greetings, Simon Mit freundlichen Grüßen Simon Eigeldinger Informatik Nebengebäude 1, OG1 Stadt Hohenems Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Straße 4 6845 Hohenems T: +43 5576 7101-1143 | E: simon.eigeldinger@hohenems.at | www.hohenems.at Diese Nachricht und allfällige angehängte Dokumente sind vertraulich und nur für den/die Adressaten bestimmt. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jason White via Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 24.

What are the most accessible options for creating a backup of the existing drive and its Windows partitions, before I make changes? I've installed several distributions of Linux before, but on BIOS-based systems, and without another operating system installed. UEFI and Secure Boot complicate the situation. I've asked on a Linux User's Group list as well, but any suggestions that subscribers here can offer (or good links taht I might any advice that subscribers here can offer, or links to good references taht I may not ahve found, would be welcome. The laptop also has Intel Management Engine firmware, but it hasn't been configured. It may enable the UEFI menus to be made accessible - but I haven't looked into the details yet. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
