Fedora really needs a backup tool
Fedora really needs a backup tool
Hi everyone,
I’m a happy Fedora 38 user on my Surface Go 1.
In fact I’m so happy with it that I just wanted to clone the whole thing with Clonezilla and put it on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro which has reached end of life support for MacOs.
Sadly on the Surface Go it’s almost impossible to boot from an USB drive (had to rely on windows recovery to do it the first time, might be usb-a to usb-c adaptor related) and I’ll really have to do a clean install on her Mac.
For such situations, I find it crazy that you don’t have an effective graphic tool to fo an easy backup. Especially because Fedora is so great for everything else.
You could say, use Timeshift, but it would mean doing some alterations I’m not at ease with as I don’t want to end up destroying the system I’m trying to backup and clone.
Does anyone know if it’s on the developers roadmap?
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe FreefileSync is what you need?
No at my box atm, but I think you'd have to get the flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/org.freefilesync.FreeFileSync
I don’t think so but thanks anyway.
What I was talking about is a way to save a whole system (files, settings, history, etc..) and put it on another machine or use it to recover after a bad manipulation.
