Hi all,
I’ve been using Duplicati to do some basic backups, and it works well. Mostly Linux based, but thats all I need.
I have a requirement to backup an actual hard disk attached to a linux machine (ie: /dev/vdb, /dev/sdb, /dev/db, /dev/xvdb, etc.). No, it’s not mounted, simply attached. Normally I’d simply do a “dd if=/dev/vdb …” and do what I need with it, however, it would be convenient to do period backups, maintaining some level of “diff”…
I setup a duplicati backup, and told it to backup /dev/vdb, which is naturally a raw block device. Of course nothing is backed up, and no errors…
Is there anyway to backup a block device with Dulicati?
Thanks,
Waz.
