Image--Data on ext4 Partition

Thread needs solution

Hi there,

 

First: I know that a backup of an ext4 partition is supported.

My Problem: I'm working with Linux and normally boot with Live-On-Boot System to make there the backup. In the past I did a backup of an ext4 partition to an external hard drive formated FAT32. I want to ask if Acronis True Image 2017 supports in the Live-On-Boot-System ext4 partitions, in that way, that I can format the external hard drive ext4 to save there the image files?

 

Thanks

Armin, welcome to these User Forums.

Please see the ATIH 2017 User Guide: Supported file systems which has the following:

Supported file systems

  • FAT16/32
  • NTFS
  • Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 *
  • ReiserFS *

    Note: ReiserFS partitions and disks cannot be backed up to Acronis Cloud.

  • Linux SWAP *

* The Ext2/Ext3/Ext4, ReiserFS, and Linux SWAP file systems are supported only for disk or partition backup/recovery operations.

You cannot use Acronis True Image 2017 for file-level operations with these file systems (file backup, recovery, search, as well as image mounting and file recovering from images).

You also cannot perform backups to disks or partitions with these file systems.
