As you know, in Asus Eee and other netbooks there is no sidirom, and therefore, while making a bootable USB flash drive from Acronis somehow does not smile.
But there are two simple ways to make a disk image.
Both methods require booting any Linux system (from a flash drive) and superuser rights for execution (I mean,
sudo for Ubuntu and
su for everyone else)
1.
> dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/disk/backup.bck
2.
> cat /dev/sda1 | gzip > /media/disk/backup.bck.gz
> cat /dev/sda1 | gzip > /media/disk/backup.bck.gz
')
In the examples,
/ dev / sda1 is a backup partition and
/ media / disk / is a flash drive.
Accordingly, the second method is somewhat more convenient due to compression. And the first - much faster.
Recovery: in the first case, swap the arguments, and in the second, use the
zcat command.
Ideas found in the blog Telegamochka and comments Moose_kazan there. Tested on my MSI Wind.
