It took some time my friends, I finally had to deliberately mess up my Xandros Desktop Install... And ok, I forgot the whole thing for a while too, I admit that...
How is BootIt NG compared with Ghost...
part 2
...when it comes to backup a ReiserFS partition?
Do you remember my ReiserFS partition I backed up using first BootIt NG and then Ghost 2003? Not?! Ok, I take it again - At HDD0 (the first harddrive in the box), partition 10 is formatted ReiserFS and there is my Xandros Desktop v2 installed and running. The partition is around 6.5 GB (GigaBytes). I made images of this partition using first BootIt NG and then Ghost 2003. The images are both placed at HDD1. I load Ghost from HDD0 and BootIt NG from FD0 (the floppy drive that is).
BootIt NG 1.60E:
Restore time: 70 seconds, Operation successfull
Ghost 2003
Restore time: 308 seconds, Operation succesfull
After each restore I rebooted into Xandros and checked that everything worked. The result isn't that surprising. As allready stated in the posts above Ghost doesn't support RaiserFS and therefore has to do a sector by sector backup.
So much for restoring after a viiri or a human has messed with important system and ini-files. What happens when the partition is totally lost?
