Backup before bazzite install. Is it valid?
is it enough of a backup of my windows install to do
and then i checked the extracted img with
but when i actually mount it read only i can see my files ok
If things dont work out i intend to take this img.gz, extract it, and then from livecd do
sudo dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M conv=noerror,sync | gzip > thinkpad.img.gz before i try bazzite? i did it from a linux livecd. and then i checked the extracted img with
fdisk -l thinkpad.img and it says The backup GPT table is not on the end of the device. but when i actually mount it read only i can see my files ok
sudo kpartx -a -v thinkpad.imgsudo mount /dev/mapper/loop1p3 /mnt/thinkpadssd -o roIf things dont work out i intend to take this img.gz, extract it, and then from livecd do
dd if=thinkpad.img of=/dev/nvme0n1 Will I still be able to do this with the error about the backup GPT table?Solution
we would recommend clonezilla for a backup, also if the backup of windows with bitlocker enabled it might be invalid when restoring it
