Backing up Linux-only drives
Hello,
Apologies if this has already been addressed- I looked around but didn't find any mention of this issue.
I'm having an issue with backing up a Linux-only computer running
Fedora Linux. I'm using a USB Windows boot drive, with Acronis 2020
build 38530. The computer is currently running Fedora 37.
When I perform a full disk backup, I get a warning message:
"Some partitions contained errors and can only be imaged sector-by-
sector".
When I do a sector by sector backup, the backup proceeds without
further error or warning messages and I get a .tibx backup file.
The Linux machine running Fedora contains standard ext4, squashfs and
tmps partitions (and a small vfat partition for /boot/efi). All checks
of these file systems within Linux show no errors.
I haven't had any easy way of checking these backups since the machine
is running normally without disk problems. Is this expected behavior,
and can I assume my backups are OK?
Thanks,
Alex
