![]() ![]() Just wondering why would you would be backing up a /swap partition? Is this a full disk clone you're trying to do?Īs on another thread, Macrium has no Linux version. I don't think it really matters but I was using the Xubuntu flavour and had just upgraded to the latest version. Worse possible nightmare imaginable and it's so frustrating as I took every precaution.and that SSD is literally only couple of months old from new.who knew they can just fail like that with absolutely no warning whatsoever? ![]() ![]() Unofrtunately I'm very poor and it's the free edition I'm using.so no support from Macrium, but as the data is physically backed up there has got to be a way to sort this? So I think the data is basically there.I just need a bit of help in tweaking it I think to make it bootable? But I was not expecting it to be a problem as it has been backing up, so I thought, Linux partitions happily for years.īasically what I think is happening is that it is ignoring the linux file structure and restoring the raw data onto Windows type positions.for example it ignores the 4 gig Linux Swap 'partition' and just restored 243mb and leaving rest of partition as unformatted space and the linux swap area becomes formatted to Ext 2.for the main linux partition it does similar but loses it's Ext4 or 3 formatting. So I've been trying to restore my backup.first time I have ever had to restore a linux partition. In the past I have only used it to restore Windows partitions.Ĭouple of days ago my SSD failed. I really can't believe this is happening to me- I have been so careful! But basically I have been using Macrium Reflect for years and always found it has worked very well. ![]()
