Stéphane GAUTIER <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: sauvetar System name: sauvetar Type: non-GNU Description: The goal of this project is to provide an easy to use frontend for Partimage software (http://www.partimage.org/). Using Partimage isn't realy easy for people how haven't any informatical knowledge. A lot of questions need to know the internal stucture of Linux (/dev/hda, ...). To use Sauvetar : First, you must boot from a bootable device (cdrom,hard disk, lan,floppy (not alone), ...). Then, you acced to a graphical interface with 3 or 4 choices : - local save/restore - network save/restore - multicast deployement - hard disk install (if you are on cdrom) - local fonction : - When you want to make an image of your partition, the software only asks easy questions, and proposes you default answers. If needed, it calculates the size of partition to create, calls Parted to create the storage partition. After that, it runs partimage to create the image of the selected partition. - When you want to restore, if only one partion image is present on the storage partition, you simply answer to a question like "do you want to restore the 'name' partition?", and the software will restore and reboot. If you have more than one partion, the software will propose you to choose the partition to restore, highligthing the default one. - network : - The software propose you to save you partion image into a smb share through the network. It asks you the name of the server, the share, the username, the password. After that, it asks for a name and description of your computer, it saves the partition image into the share and writes data in a database. - To restore, the software looks for the mac-address. If it finds it in it's database, it directly proposes to restore the partition. The user can select any other one if he wants. If the software doesn't find the mac-address, it proposes to the user to choose the image he wants to restore, and warns him about the risk such an action. - multicast : - when you have prepare a clean bright and new image, you can deploy it througth the network to a bunch of computers by using multicast.
