Hi, I run Debian 10 (UEFI with Secure Boot) on multiple LVM2 partitions inside LUKS as follows:
NAME FSTYPE LABEL MOUNTPOINT SIZE nvme0n1 477G ├─nvme0n1p1 vfat SYSTEM /boot/efi 477M ├─nvme0n1p2 16M ├─nvme0n1p3 ext4 boot /boot 477M ├─nvme0n1p4 ntfs WinRE_DRV 1000M └─nvme0n1p5 crypto_LUKS 474,8G └─nvme0n1p5_crypt LVM2_member 474,8G ├─myLvmGroup-myLvmSwap swap [SWAP] 14,9G ├─myLvmGroup-myLvmVar ext4 var /var 18,6G ├─myLvmGroup-myLvmRoot ext4 root / 74,5G └─myLvmGroup-myLvmHome ext4 home /home 326G I'm already backing up my personal data/documents (/home) via BorgBackup. I would like now to backup my GNU/Linux SYSTEM (only) with Clonezilla and store the backup as an encrypted and compressed image on an external drive. Do you use Clonezilla with such a similar setup? How do you deal with LVM/LUKS please? I asked on Clonezilla-Live mailing list but one suggested me to backup everything and choose later what I want to restore. I'm not really interested in that method because it's not optimized as I don't want to backup my /home twice (BorgBackup+Clonezilla) which is my largest partition... Do I just need to follow this method https://gist.github.com/andyrbell/4a339c0d8a3bc9465743a6b876671dcb and iterate through /var and / (+/boot and /boot/efi outside of my LUKS)? Do I really need a LUKS on my destination external drive like it seems to be with this method? Can't I use the Clonezilla managed encryption? Thank you in advance for your appreciated help :) Best regards, l0f4r0
