I made a full disk image of an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS disk. Will it actually restore?
Hi Acronis Backup 11.7 Forum,
I have a laptop that has only Ubuntu 14.04 installed on it's SSD. I removed the SSD from the laptop, and attached it to my Win8.1 workstation (where I'm running Acronis Backup 11.7).
I made a full disk image of that SSD and it verified 100%. The only logged error was "file exclusion is not supported". I didn't have any files excluded in the job, but a web search showed that there's a known issue that Acronis Cloud (which I'm not using) currently doesn't allow file exclusions. I'm attributing my Acronis Backup 11.7 logged error to that known issue, or a similar related bug (that I'm not trying to fix here).
I don't have another laptop drive to test a restore from that tib. So the question is, will the tib I made actually restore a fully functioning Ubuntu disk if I ever need it?
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
