We have now added a new boot image for Bubba. This is a "small" boot image primarily targeted at rescue/recover operations.
It can be found here,http://update.excito.net/install/minimal/ and is used in the same way as the install image.
When booted Bubba will have a static IP of 192.168.0.50 and having SSH running on it. Log in using user root and password excito

Great,
Is the hd mounted with this rescue firmware?
Would it be possible to add clonezilla server to this image?, so that one mounts a sshfs onto a remote server and copy an image of the bubba hd onto the foreign server.
Clonezilla server works locally on bubba and compresses before sending over sshfs to foreign host, for safe storing.
Why clonezilla you ask? Well its damn fast and it does not add empty clusters, so the image will be fairly small and it supports ssh.

Hi,
As osa says, the hd is not mounted in this rescue system. But doing so manually is very easy. And also note that these filesystems are writable. Boot it once, modify the /etc/fstab to mount the HD on a suitable location, reboot and you should be done.

Hi
What I meant was if there is a possibility to ad clonezilla to the rescue image?
or if there are any other way one could backup the entire unmounted disc to a backup image or file. That would keep filesystem rights and such, for backup.
And that wouldnt be to slow, clonezilla is fast when making an backup image of gigabytes of data.

Hi limpo,
I looked at clonezilla and it seems to be a complete livecd. A bit tough to get in on the minimal rescue filesystem
But it should not be such a big problem to do a complete backup using the minimal filesystem and a bit of script magic. Simply doing a compressed tar file of the mounted HD should do the trick quite nicely.
