Bubakup, the Bootable Ubuntu Backup, is a tool that allows you to create a bootable backup image of your running system. The software supports creating uncompressed, deleting backup disk images, archiving backup disk images using 7-zip, bootable loopmounted disk images of the whole or parts of the system, restoring backed-up archived disk images, and LVPM (which is pre-inst

Usage Cases

The bootable disk images created by Bubakup can be used as an emergency recovery and restoration tool, should your primary system become unbootable. It can also be used as a sandbox environment for testing bleeding-edge and unstable code, in an environment that is the same as though you were using your primary system, without harming your primary system. It can also be used as a general full system and data backup/restoration utility.

What it does

A loopmounted disk image of the size selected by the user is created on the partition selected by the user, and the contents of the currently running root partition, excluding directories selected by the user, are copied into it. The loopmounted disk image is then patched and modified with loopmounting patches to allow it to boot. A menu entry is then added to grub allowing for the booting of the loopmounted disk image. The user can then reboot into the bootable backup disk image and restore it to a partition using LVPM, archive the disk image and later restore it, or delete the bootable backup if it is no longer needed.

Requirements:

  • This has been tested on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) 32-bit and 64-bit, though it may also work on other versions.
