Linux Hard Drive Backup Problem

October 20, 2010 - 20:00 |  syuan

I bought a hard drive KARAOKE machine. It has a 1T hard drive with two pertitions. I like to back the whole drive up with another 1T hard drive. I tried Clonezilla (two different versions), both of them stoped with an error message (FS error...). I tried linux dd commend, it says access permision denied for source drive. I guess the source hard drive must be protected. Can anyone tell me how to clone it? Thanks. My linux version is latest ubuntu. I run dd from root.

Hello, the question is, which filesystem has your karaoke machine.

The KARAOKE runs on Linux. There are two partitions on the 1T hard drive. One (boot) is ext2, another one (data) is ext4.

Are you able to mount the drive a read its files? I do not understand, how do you try the backup. Is the drive from Karaoke connected to your computer or what?

I took out the hard drive from KARAOKE and connected it (with a dock, USB) to a PC which run Linux. From Linux PC, I can read the files and folders on the hard drive. When I want to check hard drive's permission (right mouse click), the permission tab shows nothing (or unknown).

That's strange. However I'm affraid I couldn't help more. Maybe someone other will have an idea.
