Thread: Recover from backup. Can't find HD (wrong UUID)

hi

rsync filesystem have server hd. now, when try boot i'm dropped @ initramfs error. looks it's still looking root in previous hd tough changed /etc/fstab. says can't find device uuid, , uuid previous hd.

here's full details:

• i'm running ubuntu server 10.04
• it has 2 hard drives. every night backups 1 command
  code:

  rsync --archive --one-file-system --hard-links --numeric-ids --delete

• i moved hd have backup machine , rsynced them same command
• i changed /etc/fstab in new machine. installed grub on it
• when boot in new machine error not finding root. says device not present. says uuid of device looking for, , it's uuid of first hd.

thought had change /et/fstab seems wrong. appreciated

i not recommend use rsync full backup of machine. result failure.

why?. because system not stopped during backup , data stored inconsistent.

full backup has done system in "shut-down" mode.

backup live cd best , solution full backup.

according experience, recommend use clonezilla full backup. works great both cloning disks/partitions or saving/restoring images of disks/partitions. clonezilla live runs live cd or pendrive. download stable debian-based version.

use rsync every night backup of user files (photos, music, etc) if wish not backup of full machine.

kind regards,

luis
