I want to create an image of my current FC server for quick restore.
I have a USB drive.
me too =)
I have a USB Flash memory stick , if that counts . It is formated with
the FAT Filesystem
What command do I use to format the USB drive?
It depends on the filesystem .
Well generally the command for making filesystems is mkfs .
mke2fs is a good series of software to check out and read about.
mke2fs is just the command for making an Extended Filesystem v. 2.0
( The Filesystem that usually Linux has ) . Now there is a chance of
making an Ext3 filesystem which has the added advantage of a journal ,
which can be really helpfull in cases of data recovery .
The command for an ext3 filesystem would be :
mke2fs -j /dev/hdd1
What command should I use to create the image?
An ISO image you mean ?? By image you mean the thing that you write to
CDs ??
That's the mkisofs command
