Capture FOG image from USB key disk
-
So, I don’t know if it is because the question hasn’t been asked or because these keyword phrases are spammed from capturing Fog on a USB boot…
Is it possible to capture a usb based image? I seem to be able to deploy images from the Fog Server onto a usb based image, but when I try to capture via pxe boot, the app ends at the the stage of searching for the hard disk. This must be possible right?

I’m not sure I understand your question because I can read it two ways.
- You want to pxe boot into FOG and then deploy an image to/from a usb flash drive.
- You want to deploy a FOG image from a usb flash drive.
Can you explain a bit more about what you want to do? I’m guessing you are not a native english speaker. Could you explain what you want to do in english then your native language and I’ll try to understand better.

Hi George, thank you for your response. Number 1 is what I’m trying to do. Specifically, I’m trying to figure out how to backup from usb.

If your intent is to capture/deploy from/to a usb device alone don’t use FOG. Use clonezilla, which is a standalone capture/deployment tool. You boot from a usb stick and then can capture / deploy to other portable media. No external server or network required with clonezilla. If you have a fog image that you want to deploy with clonezilla then deploy your fog image to a target computer and then turn right around without booting the target computer and capture with Clonezilla to portable media.
