Hi All,I've been trying different GUI based programs for backup and had most luck with 'luckyBackup', however it's not /that/ lucky because no matter what Exclusions I give it, it keeps trying to add the content of drives that are currently mounted when I've told it to exclude them. I had a go with dd tonight but got this error after a few minutes:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda8 of=/media/julian/ARTEMIS/systembackup.img dd: reading ‘/dev/sda8’: Input/output error 17130448+0 records in 17130448+0 records out 8770789376 bytes (8.8 GB) copied, 257.292 s, 34.1 MB/s /dev/sda8 is the root of my Mint installation, ARTEMIS is a USB external HD. Should I try 'luckyBackup' again but with other drives unmounted?
