complete Backup

[CaptainProton]

I want to make a complete backup of my system. I want to be able to migrate my system to another machine in case of a crash.

The method should be not too complicated and the backup should be possible while the system is running.

I have tried to make an iso using dd command. But is it possible to copy this iso to a computer with a different disk geometry?

I have tried partimage. But this tells me some errors and also it only offers me partitions. I want the disk as a whole.

On a windows system I am using acronis true image.


Any proposals?

Have you tried clonezilla?

You have to boot from clonezilla. (as far as I know)
I want the backup to be done by schedule, at night or so. While the system is running.
