I have been looking for a backup software for my Ubuntu boxes that works with the similar ease of EaseUs backup software for windows. I would like to be able to back up both user info and root info. I have tried the built in backup in ubuntu without much luck and the same goes for clonezilla...Thanks!

EaseUs is almost a one click solution for Windows that backs up entire partitions even linux partitions. It does not matter if the disk is encrypted or not.(to EaseUs)

The problem is that I want something that not only backs up partitions for my encrypted linux partitions plus my boot partition. I want it to install grub if need be and also be loaded to dissimilar hardware. (i.e. you buy a bigger harddrive and need to do a restore)

My entire setup currently is GPT partitioning

on sda1 I have a software raid drive that I have yet to be able to use in Ubuntu although I know it is possible. (ntfs formatted but dynamic disk formatted from windows 8.1)

on sdb1 and 2 are special partitions required by windows 8.1 in gpt mode (one is system and the other is some weird thing for gpt) on sdb3 I have my windows8.1 install on sdb4 I have unallocated space for my ssd to be able to repair itself on sdb5 I have an encrypted ext 4 partition containing root,user,etc on sdb6 I have an unencrypted ext 2 partition containing boot for grub

on sdb3 I have the other part of the dynamic disk for windows mirrored in software raid 0 with a total of 2TB ntfs formatted

  • Clonezilla should be perfect. How did it fail you? What functionality are you missing?

  • @terdon Clone Zilla does not seem to like full disk encryption..maybe I have missed something.

  • That's the kind of thing you should include in your question. You haven't mentioned encryption anywhere. Please edit your question and explain what features you need, we don't know what EaseUs does or how. You need to explain your requirements to us.
