Iassume you mean gparted live? It doesn't have clonezilla. If I don't need clonezilla, I use systemrescuecd because it has the most utilities (photorec, dcfldd, etc) and I used to use it to install Gentoo.
It is best to have a backups folder on a one of your OMV's data disks. It makes it way easier to recover the system drive. Everything backed up for my system drive is root:root. I think the problem you are having is you backed up with the default user the desktop is using. Try making an image in command line with the console. Make sure you are root user: su - root password is usually "parted magic". You can start Clonezilla in command line with either "clonezilla" or "ocs-live".
Tested 5 minutes ago. I have executed clonezilla via SSH and not from the desktop with VNC.
Now the new save directory has root:root (to see that, logged with SSH to the OMV box, and with mc I have "navigated" to the save directory located in one of my data drives).
Yes, a lot simplier than the VNC connection. Thanks again!
There's also Gparted Live (not near as full featured as PartedMagic however...). Beyond that... you can always put an Ubuntu Live ISO on a flash drive.. and it would also work well (although it'll have a ton of unnecessary stuff)...
4. Open up the ISO using 7Zip or any other tool and locate the SQFS file in the \pmagic\pmodules folder and note the exact filename and CASE (if the case is not correct, you may not be able to Save the session on exit).
4. Once Parted Magic is booting, if the boot=live parameter has been specified, it will look for a folder on any drive that has the \pmagic\pmodules\xxx.sqfm saved session file. Luckily, it seems to search all drives and so it should find the folder we created on the USB drive.
Soooo basicallyI used "universal usb installer 1982" and installed Ubuntu using the parted magic.iso, but i misclicked accidentally formated my F:/ instead of my 4Gig USB stickSo then i restartedAnd my harddrive boot just says"syslinux 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (C) 19994-2013 H. Peter Anvinet al"I think i somehow made my harddrive boot into Linux instead of windows but the Linux boot doesn't work?
@Allpep - The first thing you have to do is to stop using 8 year old bits of software. (The usb installer) They're not compatible with the EFI Boot method with GPT partitions, they only used MBR Boot and that's basically been a non-thing on Windows for the last 5 years.
If you boot a live Ubuntu live image you might be able to put it all back by installing and running the testdisk utility to recover the GPT partition table and other partitions. If it fails, you're no worse off than you were, which was wiped. Time to reload in that case.
I am looking for a distribution/live cd that enables ssh/telnet (or something similar) on boot. The reason I need this: I am trying to get data from a broken all-in-one PC (only the monitor appears broken), and do not have access to a monitor.
Seriously, I think the easiest situation would be the Arch installer since it drops you into the tty, logged in ready to go. With other live media, you will end up in a gui, in which case you would need to start a terminal, then issue these commands. I think that you have figured out above that even if you can get a live media with sshd started by default, you still need a password, which you will have to set. This being the case, I can't seem to understand why blindly issuing two commands is not a viable option.
How about instead of simply shooting down every suggestion that comes along, why don't you try something! Besides, this is information that should be attainable with a search engine, so you since no one seems to be able to come up with what you consider a valid answer, you are now simply outsourcing searches.
I never said you were rude, but I am giving you a viable solution. It is not like you are going to have to do this over and over again, you simply need access to your headless machine (hopefully just once anyway).
I did exactly what I am proposing to you when I installed Arch on my headless server. So I know it can be done, and it is probably one of the simplest of solutions... by that I mean you could be moving data off your drive by now.
I tried this earlier, but it did not seem to work. I'll move the PC downstairs and hook it up straight to the router instead of my current usage of powerline ethernet (seems harder to find the IP with nmap), and try the arch iso again.
Parted Magic starts sshd on boot. I am not sure if root is allowed to login, but the root password would be "partedmagic" (i believe). Will check this when i'm back home. However, you need to be connected by wire.
