Convenient software for a full backup of a working machine on Ubuntu?

Question

linux

I'm moving to Ubuntu (project requirements).
On Windows I used `Aomei Backupper` which allowed me to do:

• full
  
• partial
  
• or differential backup
  

in manual or automatic mode at the touch of a button.

If the disk / computer suddenly died - I just stuck the USB flash drive into another computer, unfolded the backup with one button, and after half an hour I calmly continued to work from the same place.
Prompt software for backup under Ubuntu with similar functionality.

The fact is that Linux usually doesn't back up like that :) Those who maintain servers usually follow the path of automation. Those. they take a utility like ansible, it describes what the state of the server should be: what packages will be installed, what settings. And then it remains to add data from the backup - well, for example, the contents of a directory, or let's say the contents of a database. Those who back up their personal work computers usually back up the /home directory, because it contains all the data, and the list of installed programs is small (well, in the event of a disaster recovery of the system, you will put in the first place those programs that you used conditionally yesterday, and what you don’t remember, well, you will put it later when you need it, if ever - anything else is needed). There are a lot of simple and reliable solutions for these scenarios.https://www.bareos.org/en/ , which can do anything at all, but IMHO this is too complicated a solution for such a simple task, it's faster to describe your computer using ansible and set up backup / home simply in archives than with bareos understand for the sake of 1 computer.

Answer 4

In your case, you can continue to use Windows as a host OS, and run Ubuntu with a development environment as a guest OS in VirtualBox or VMware. Then it is enough to keep a backup copy of the vdi/vmdk machine image.

Answer 5

dd bs=4M if=<from> of=<from> status=progress oflag=sync

Answer 6

There are a lot of questions and the same number of answers, in short:
Do you want it simple? Take a paid solution like Acronis or similar.
Do you want free? Put up with what is ready-made and choose the most suitable for you.
Do you want exactly the way you want? You show skill, head, hands and a couple of days of time. Get exactly what you need, specifically for you and specifically for your tasks.

Answer 8

It would be possible to use partimage, but as far as I remember (it may have changed), it does not know how to use btrfs and ext4.
Personally, I did it through dd of the boot area and FSarchiver for the rest of the files, in theory you can also rsync, but in my opinion it does not save file rights

Answer 9

It just blows my mind. Backup is one of the most common operations, how come there is no one button solution? I do not believe.

Absolutely agree. Alas, even I, with 25 years of experience in Unix/Linux, am still surprised.
I think today it's just that the market for backing up a physical machine is very small.
Acronis used to work with Linux. Today - as already said, take a look at https://www.veeam.com/linux-backup-free.html .
