I need advice as to which free program I should use to backup and restore my system partition.
I recently had a hard drive fail and because I don't have a good disaster recovery system I ended up having to rebuild Ubuntu 20.04 from scratch. I did, fortunately, have a backup of my data.
I would use Clonezilla if it worked consistently, but my experience is that it is not always reliable.
Is there a way to use dd with compression? Even if it takes a set of steps to do an uncompressed backup image with dd and then compress it with another step?
The bottom line is that I just want a disaster recovery procedure which I can rely on. So my specific question for this post is:
What backup software should I use to create a compressed image file for my Ubuntu 20.04 system partition?
Thanks for your support.
