@Aaron-McLaughlin said in Backing up images:

I tried to do this, but the restored image comes up with a 0 kb size and is unable to be used.

You see the 0 kb size because when re-creating the image definition in the FOG webUI we simply don’t know the size as it is only being recorded when capturing the image.

You are saying the the image cannot be used after copying it back. This can be for various reasons.

File access rights (chmod -R 777 /images/imagename) Path name (Linux is case sensitive, so ImageName is not equal to imagename) Image definition (make sure the new definition does match the old one - resizable/non-resizable, compression method

In some cases the error on screen can shed a light on what is wrong with the image. So please take a picture of the error and post here.

Next time: Don’t touch the image definition in the web UI. Just move images to an external disk to get some space and let the definition alone. After moving it back you don’t have issues with the image definition.
