you can also find some information here [url]http://www.vernalex.com/guides/sysprep/video.shtml[/url]
for creating universal images which can be used to deploy to machines which vary in configs.

as far as i know fog doesnot allow increamental backup.
and fog is not a backup solution. it is a deploment solution which is used to deploy images to one or multiple computers.
so storing backup image for each an every computer each day(if that is what you want to do) is not the area where fog shines.

Ohh yes sorry I completely misunderstood this.
I deleted the image of second partition and it works
Will do some more tests with diffrent operating systems
Thanks boon

[quote=“Catsrules, post: 2142, member: 296”]That is cool, I would be interested in something like that. Would it to to much trouble to post the coding behind this? Even if it is for the older version, I bet people would find it useful, maybe even update it to the newer version.

@LanStack
At the moment the only way to do this, it to do what Blackout said, and rename or delete the secondary partition image. Then when fog does a restore, will not be able to find the second partition and error out and skip it. As long as your partition layout is exactly the same on every computer, it will not destroy any data on the secondary partition.

The thing that sucks about this setup is whenever you update you image, you will need to remember to rename or delete the secondary partition, otherwise it will overwrite all the data on the secondary partition with the one on the server, and that is not good.[/quote]

@catsrules
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?

hi,
i was having the same problem.while uploading an image to server.
doing this resolved the issues
first reset your user password with the “sudo passwd” command.
then go to your config file
/var/www/fog/commons/config.php
and set you tftp password and storage node password to one you changed in the step above.

hello
i have been playing around with fog for the last couple of days
i want to image only the first partition of my HDD which would be my system drive
i have tried all the options size partition(resizable),multiple partition single disk etc
but every time i deploy the image data in the d: is also lost.
how can i deploy images so that only my system drive re-written
and i keep my data intact on d: as it is.
any ideas ??

thanks
