Backup

Ivan, 2020-04-20 20:19:46

In general, in the laptop there is a 500GB ssd and in the pocket of the hdd drive. ssd is divided into two sections: about 100 GB and the rest is somewhere around 370. So, the 100 GB partition is mounted on "/" and, as I understand it, it is a system one and ubuntu is on it. The remaining 370 are mounted on "/home". I asked myself a question of reservation, since on Windows I was constantly insured with a full backup of the system. With the help of clonezilla, I made a backup copy of the 100 GB partition and saved it elsewhere. So, if ubunta falls down for some reason, can I completely restore it from this backup with a cloner? Is the bootloader also included in this copy?

Here you should not ask questions, but take a spare disk and restore the system from a backup to it.
By the way, if with the so-called. BIOS / UEFI bootable is SSD - then some elements of the boot are there.
The pisyukovy loading system is a blasphemous fucked-up crap, where one legacy sits astride another, and the third one drives. It's crooked as hell, and the move from BIOS to UEFI has added a ton of weirdness.

the bootloader is located separately from the section (to be not tied to the complexity of the file system) in the title of the device.
In theory, cloned should save the bootloader.
