Am using OpenSuSe server and looking for system running remote backup.. (just files) for now am training on VM.
First i used fdisk -l | grep /dev/ to see the disk..
there is sda : 8G ..
/dev/sda1 8M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2 8G Linux filesystem
Then i used DD to copy my files remotely
ssh 192.168.98.16 dd if=/dev/sda | dd of=/backup/image.img status=progress
Then i made some changes to see if the backup is working :) then used:
dd if=/backup/image.img | ssh 192.168.98.16 dd of=/dev/sda
then reboot restored system. Then i got boot error.. (I end up in grub rescue..)
error: file ´/boot/grub2/i386-pc´ not found.
error: file ´/boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod´ not found
I tried image of /dev/sda2 too but with same error. Is there some way to do it or i have to use something different.
