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
