I really love to do my backups with cloenzilla.But now I am stuck in my project.
The goal of it lies in an automatic backup of the hard disk.
Clonezilla is installed in an ext3-partition on it. It boots perfectly by grub into gui-mode, backups are well done with it.
The next step, after creating a custom-ocs, that mounts a samba-share and finally does an backup with reboot, succesfully works on a CD, too. The Server boots by CD and does automatically the backup job and reboots, too. Perferct!
But, if I install clonezilla live on hard disk with the zip-file, the batch mode does not function.
Here is my command to create the zip-file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ocs-live-dev -t -g en-US.UTF-8 -k none -j /home/user/clonezilla-live-20090130-jaunty.iso -s -c -m /home/partimag/custom-ocs-smb-backup
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The custom-ocs "custom-ocs-smb-backup" looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 3. create the image
/opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-sr -l en_US.UTF-8 -b -c -q -j2 -z2 -i 2000 -p reboot savedisk "server1" "sda"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, I tried a second way: I edited the menue.lst of grub. I put ocs_* commands in it, but only the keyboard, the language and the network was configured. I don`t know how to mount samba share and start the backup.
In both situation I am stuck, can you please help me?
Sincerely
Stefan

Stefan,
What's the error message or how it does not work ? Please give more info so it's easier to do something for you.
BTW, you might need to use your "custom-ocs-smb-backup" and the boot parameters on grub config file both.
Steven.

Steven,
thank you very much for your answer. I will now try to explain more precisely, what i have tested. (I changed the name of the custom-ocs script and now I use clonezilla-live-1.2.1-39.iso).

Cleaning tmp dirs...
Done!
1.
the system boots up by grub. the network interface is configured by dhcp, but instead of the batch-mode the interactive gui-mode starts with the language option. :-(
2.
booting up with "ocs_debug", dhcp okay, prompt arrives, the script "/live/image/pkg/custom-ocs" can be started manually - the backup process starts, success!

Stepan,
You have to refer to the file /syslinux/syslinux.cfg, and use those boot parameters on your grub config.
i.e.

i.e. Some required boot parameters are missing. If you assign them as boot parameters, clonezilla won't ask. If not, Clonezilla asks about them.

Steve, what could I am doing wrong? Why does the script does not start automatically?
I hope, that my post isn`t declared as spam?! ;-)

Stepan,
You have to refer to the file /syslinux/syslinux.cfg, and use those boot parameters on your grub config.
i.e.
--------------------
title Clonezilla live on harddrive sda5
root (hd0,4)
kernel /live-hd/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs live-media-path=/live-hd vga=788 toram bootfrom=/dev/sda5 ocs_live_batch="yes" ocs_live_keymap=... ocs_live_run=... ocs_lang=... ....
initrd /live-hd/initrd1.img
boot
--------------------
i.e. Some required boot parameters are missing. If you assign them as boot parameters, clonezilla won't ask. If not, Clonezilla asks about them.
For more info, please check:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/fine-print.php?path=./99_Misc/00_live-initramfs-manual.doc#00_live-initramfs-manual.doc
