Macrium Reflect Linux Download
Rob Forbes
I ran Testdisk and it was able to list files in the partition. I was able to save a copy as a dd image. I have read many forum threads but apparently they have talked about restoring a full HDD restore and some had problem booting linux from that too. I havent got any leads since days.
Backup and restore of single partitions are possible. There is no need to have the full disk backed up. Nor reinstalling is necessary. Saves time and effort. If you want to save further space, or have to clone it to a smaller disk/partition, you will have to shrink the linux partition as much as possible before imaging for backup as Macrium images the whole partition bitwise (not the case for Windows).
I am using dell precision 3520 running ubuntu 18.04 lts. I am trying to replace my HDD with SSD. I would like to have all my data transferred to the new disk. On Windows there is Macrium Reflect to do this (if there is a way of using Macrium in ubuntu, please tell me). How would I do this in linux?
Generally most people start with any form of Ubuntu or Linux Mint (which shares the same 'linux' tree for most stuff). In Linux you can choose how the desktop looks, but Cinnamon and KDE seem to be popular with Windows users.
Again, for restore, you have similar options available. Do note that the defaults you set in the program will also be reflected in the live environment once you create the rescue media, but it is always advisable to check everything in detail regardless.
I purchased a 4TB mycloud to use as a repository for unattended network backups from Linux and Windows PCs on my home LAN. I am currently experimenting with Clonezilla and rsync on my Centos 7 linux server; Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2 server; and Acronis ATH 2010 from my Windows 7 desktop.
