    • RE: FOG on VirtualMachine - IMAGES on real harddisk

      bare metal: yes, this implies a better feeling.

      i am quite happy with the backup function (whole disk) of FOG and FOG generally. 👏

      the only thing that i am missing are tools to make the creation of backups easier.

    • RE: FOG on VirtualMachine - IMAGES on real harddisk

      Hello George1421,

      • 1.) NAS as FOG node
        This is a good option.

      • 2.) FOG on VB (virtual box)
        I’ve pondered your suggestion that there are better ways to run FOG than on a virtual machine.
        And I suspect that I will set up FOG on a real computer with two hard drives (FOG, IMAGES) in the future.

      • 3.) Fog as a backup
        I use FOG to do backups and not store pictures on computers.
        I am missing some tools that would help me with this.
        For example, to make backups of a group of computers.
        If I want to back up multiple computers, I have to set it up separately for each computer.
        Am I missing something here? 😉

    • FOG on VirtualMachine - IMAGES on real harddisk

      Hello everyone,

      I currently have a Debian system running a VirtualBox.
      In this VirtualBox I installed FOG on a virtual machine.
      I wanted to have a separation between the FOG system and the IMAGES. So I use a second hard drive, which is mounted as a virtual hard drive in the FOG system and on which I save the IMAGES.
      Somehow I have a bad feeling when I think about saving the IMAGES on a virtual drive.
      Instead, I think about how I can save the IMAGES on a real hard drive?

      Do you have any suggestions?
      What could work?

      Any ideas are welcome.

    • RE: "Bad Sectors" when uploading image (Abort), RAID-1 crashed

      hello sebastian,

      thanks for your reply!

      i have taken a backup of both HDDs with “ddrescue” too.

      Why did you use the resizable image type?:
      to be honest: I am using FOG for backups and have captured a lot of images using the default settings - and i had never troubles with it. the other computers were using windows-7 oder 10, and also did not have RAID.
      so, in this case, while capturing windows-xp with raid, i did not think about this.

      because i had never to deal with this computer and also not with RAID all of this seems to me a little bit odd.

      i guess i will have to test around a little bit to get more information.

      greetings lakk

    • RE: "Bad Sectors" when uploading image (Abort), RAID-1 crashed

      hello george1421,

      thank you for your support. its a “3ware” raid controller.

      its possible to use FOG to clone these disk structures but you need to know ahead of time
      

      yes, i did understand this later 🙂

      sorry for going to ask maybe some “dumb” questions now , but i am really a little bit nervous about this situation. its a very old system (win-xp, so over 15 years old) and it contains very important data. but i could create a backup - so thats the good news.
      i am trying not to miss something, which could effort a lot more work.

      a.) what if i do remove the wrong hdd and reattach it again?
      e.g. i do remove the sdb, i start the computer, noticing this mistake, turning off the computer, reattaching sdb and removing sda.

      do i have to worry about losing data?

      b.) hdd on port 0 not in use?
      what does this mean?
      is this the reason why i do get he message about the “missing os system”?

      because i can see the sda if i start a live-sytem and can also create a backup with clonezilla.

      c.) is it a normal behaviour of RAID-1 not to boot if the mirror is broken?

      should this behaviour be bein expected, or could it be also posible to boot a system even if the mirror is broken?
      e.g. the mirror was broken a long time ago - but was not recongniced.
      so the system was running in a “degraded” mode.

      thank you for you help!

    • "Bad Sectors" when uploading image (Abort), RAID-1 crashed

      hello,

      i ve got the following situation:

      i was capturing an image from a computer (windows xp) which has raid-1.
      during this process an error-message showed up, saying that some “bad blocks” were found, and i should try so save my data.
      after this, the upload process did cancel and restart. after the restart it did start the upload-process again and ending with the same message of “bad blocks” and restart again and so on.

      so i did cancel this task in fog.

      when i start the computer now a message that “no os system” was found is showing up.

      in raid bios-menu the message is shown that the array is downgraded.
      this arrays consists of two disks.
      the disk on port-0 is not in use.

      i guess that maybe the “shrinking” of the partition did break the mirror in raid-1. but this should not be the problem that windows-xp is not being found.

      i still have the data of the image-upload-process in /images/dev folder.

      my question:
      how can i find the original size of the partition?
      because it seems that after every restart and retry to upload the image the last (so shrinked) partition-size is being written to the /dev folder?

      what else could cause the problem?
      (of course, there are also the “bad blocks/secotrs”. but until the backup this seems not to make any troubles. )

      i am in troubles and i need please some help 🙂
      (and yea, i had never to deal with RAID)

      thanks in advance.

      greetings lakk

    • RE: Host Management - "No Data" instead of date - FOG 1.5.7

      thank you!

      there is another strange thing that i have noticed.
      the number of active tasks is not displayed on the dashboard:
      _storage-group-activity_not-updated_1.png
      _storage-group-activity_not-updated_2.jpg

      in my opinion, this issues did pop up after i changed something in the virtualbox-settings of the gues-account.
      there was a problem, that the captured images have not been stored on the sdb1 (VMDK) but instead as a snapshot on the host-system. so the snapshot was growing
      and the host-system did run out of space.
      i did get help in the virtualbox-forum and could solve this problem.
      but it seems that since this time i did get this two issues:

      • “no data”
      • “number of active tasks is not displayed on the dashboard.”

      but maybe it’s a coincidence.
