Re: [Clonezilla-live] Create an image of the disk without rebooting the server

[G. M. <gma...@is...>]

Hello,
So, the problem is that creating an image of a mounted disk can create a
corrupted image because in the meanwhile the used blocks changes...
right ?!?! I get it correctly ???

If I understand correctly, it's possible to create a script that
automatically reboot the system, save the image, and reboot the server
in batch without the user intervention ... so, I can create periodically
backups of my server ???

Thank you,
Gianluca
