Hi *,<br />
<br />
In my box I have a separate hdd for /home however it is corrupted and I think it is failing. I have been running fsck on it for about a week now, and slowly there are fewer and fewer problems. I have another drive I am wanting to copy the data onto and use as my new /home partition. I just wanted to check whether my logic below is sound?<br />
<br />
1. Rescue data from original /home to new hdd with ddrescue.<br />
2. Change the UUID to the new partition in my fstab file (I previously used <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving" rel="ugc">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving</a>&nbsp;to setup up my current box).<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
James

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
