Systemback is back! - Moltke - 07-18-2020

Hi everyone! hope you're all having a nice life! Smile

I just found that Systemback is active again.  https://github.com/fconidi/systemback-install_pack-1.9.3
The new version is 1.9.4 supporting Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. Just installed with no problems by following instructions from the git page.

YAY! Hope maintainer updates it regularly.
I have already tried it and it seems just like the old version!
Thanks Moltke for the posting.

The fine print...

"# Last modification and others bug fix 2018.04.21. by Franco Conidi aka edmond http://francoconidi.it [email protected]"

Also one Issue posted on April, yet to be answered. Be weary.

Code:
case "$(lsb_release -cs)" in
    Buster)
    release=Debian_Buster
    ;;
    artful)
    release=Ubuntu_Focal
    ;;
    bionic)
    release=Ubuntu_Bionic
    ;;

...lol

If it works, cool. But I personally wouldn't touch it.

And no sooner than you posted, Jerry, I found first bug.
Hey, THANKS for taking the time to respond on this! 
One day I will learn, eh?  :'(


Re: Systemback is back! - firenice03 - 07-19-2020

Not the original maintainer --- there are a few different forks out there too... Maybe someday...
But if you do try it and find issues - report it to the developer... Hopefully they correct and make it viable Smile .. The premise of Open Source Smile

Will do! Thanks  Smile

Form Edmond's blog on Systemback:
Quote:Systemback 1.9.4 for Debian 10 Ubuntu 20.04

In the past few days in lockdown for covid-19 , I took a look at systemback-1.9.3 , adapting it to make it work on Debian Buster 10, and Ubuntu 20.04. I fixed some bugs, such as the size of the distro installed via live, and other things. I have tested on: Debian 10, Ubuntu 20.04, AV Linux and it seems to work perfectly. Problems are encountered on Debian 10 derivatives: such as the inability to boot in UEFI mode. Packages, and source code are on Github and Sourceforge .

https://francoconidi.it/systemback-1-9-4-per-debian-10-ubuntu-20-04/  I haven't really tried it,  taken a snapshop of the system with it since I plan doing that on a VM just to be sure and as soon as I do will report whatever I find.
