I want to copy a partition from hd to another with small partition.
Must be:
- support ext4 file system
- can create image file for later use.
- compress images files
- copy only the used file system
- restore to smaller and bigger partition in destination hd
Optional:
- Have network connection to one of the following protocol: ftp, sftp, ftps, webdad nfs
- support other file system: ntfs, fat32, ext3, ext2
- has a gui
I already see this questions and answer,
but my question is more specific, and no good answers that help me.
other topic i already see:
How to clone to a smaller harddisk?
Cloning hard disk partition to smaller SSD on laptop
Clone internal HDD to new SSD
My best solution for me is here:
boot with live cd with ubuntu 18-04.
enable "Universe" repository:
install sshfs: sudo apt-get install sshfs
sshfs
if you want to save or restore from remote server that has sftp protocol.
install qt5-fsarchiver from here:
qt5-fsarchiver.
The project call qt4-fsarchiver.
fsarchiver has all the must thing i need:
FSArchiver ability
Must be:
- "Ability to save/restore new generation linux filesystems (ext4, reiser4, btrfs)"
- "Ability to restore the filesystem to a partition which is smaller than the original"
- "Ability to restore the filesystem to a partition which is bigger than the original"
- "Compression algorithms which are supported"
The optional stuff came from qt4-fsarchiver project and ubuntu live cd:
Optional:
- qt4-fsarchiver has gui.
- ubuntu nautilus has network connection: ftp, ftps, sftp, nfs, webdav.
(it was hard for me that qt5-fsarchiver will find the virtual folder of sftp or ftps, so i use sshfs) - use sshfs for mount sftp remote server
- fsarchiver also support ext2, ext3, fat32, ntfs:
"Ability to save/restore standard linux filesystems (ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs)"
"Ability to save/restore windows ntfs filesystems"
