Draksnapshot

[schnappi]

Hello,

I have following utility install in software management:
draksnapshot - Snapshot utility​ 
This is a backup program that uses rsync to take backup snapshots of filesystems. It uses hard links to save space on disk.

But, I see that draksnapshot is a folder and not any app which can be run.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost draksnapshot]# find / -name draksnapshot
find: ‘/proc/1759/task/1759/net’: Invalid argument
find: ‘/proc/1759/net’: Invalid argument
/usr/share/draksnapshot
[root@localhost draksnapshot]# pwd
/usr/share/draksnapshot
[root@localhost draksnapshot]# ls
pixmaps/
[root@localhost draksnapshot]#


Can someone please help?

I see that you only look for a file/folder that is exactly named draksnapshot, you won't find any file start-draksnapshot or draksnapshot-start or something similar.
Maybe next time simply ask what the command is to run draksnapshot or how you could find said files ?

Hmm.. so any other os restore tool recommended ?

[doktor5000]

backintime, bacula, clonezilla, mindi/mondo, rear - all to some extent are "os restore tools".
Maybe you could add some context information what you are actually trying to do, and what your backup strategy currently looks like ?

If snapshots work, it would be great. I prefer snapshots, since its default available on mageia. Unfortunately it doesnt load for me.
Otherwise something like Timeshift (which is default available on linux mint).

I use rsnapshot for more than a decade and it works great. Only text config files and no GUI. At least I don't use it .
