      so you are saying that before i deploy the image i shoud delete my second partition??
      and what should i do after the deployment to restore the partition and its data?[/quote]
      I believe he meant that you should delete the second partition from the FOG server, so it does not overwrite the user data partition upon restore.

              To Blackout:No.

              But you can manually rename/remove the image files so the system cannot find them, it will then skip that partition.

              Reply:thats true and working…but when i try to use the same image for another Pc it tells me wrong partition table…so how can i use this image for any another pc?

                  Did anyone ever get a line on the source code or a walk through on this? I am managing dual boot laptops and it would be very useful (and a time saver) to (for example) image the Windows partition while leaving the Centos partition unchanged.

                    There is a thread/wiki article about some custom mods a guy made for his company. See if you can find that.

                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                              [quote=“Fernando Gietz, post: 252, member: 13”]We have developed this feature, but we use fog 0.30.
                              The way it operates is simple:
                              1 º) When you upload the picture for the first time you save the partition scheme in the database, via web services.
                              2 º) for the next time, the web interface gives you the option to choose which partition you want to upload.
                              3 º) FOG script on the client, ask via web services if you need to upload the whole disk or just a partition. If the result of the query is running the fogpartinfo ALL, otherwise, it returns the device / dev / sdaX.
                              4 º) Once the upload process, the web service takes care of Post_Stage2.php to copy the image file of the partition in its place
                              5 º) Saving the partition scheme you know that images have the same schema, so you can share the image files of partitions.

                              In this way the code is responsible for making the task of renaming files, and avoid human error.

                              Example:
                              The source name image is aula-bz-cursos-A6A-rembo-mantenimiento. We can upload all partitions, sda1(NTFS) or sda5 (NTFS) and share it with aula-bz-cursos-A6A-rembo-gx620_produccion image

                              [IMG]http://www.ehu.es/fogenehu/captures/version_1_030_4/upload.jpeg[/IMG][/quote]
                              what is shown in the screenshot above…
                              A special version of fog to allow to work not only with hard drive but also to restore partitions only.
                              I didn’t test it but i m also interested in that functionnality 🙂

                                Thounsand battles are around me 😞

                                This feature was developed for my university and worked and works fine, the problem is that this feature only works under our special fog version. I would like develope it for the new version of FOG, but actually I don’t have spare time to do it.

                                Maybe in FOG 1.4 🙂

                                      Hola Fernando,
                                      I m really sorry for this, I m not searching for a fight at all. It s just that i found that it was something so interesting and i was so happy that i found the installation files that i wanted to share it here !
                                      Now i m in production and have to deploy my computer otherwise it would have been a pleasure to test it !
