I had to return to previous version 2.5.1 of Rescuezilla in order to backup an old dual-boot computer with several partitions, the new version 2.6 failed twice with the same error that it couldn't unmount the partition that had been backing up, a problem it never occured before, and using the previous version 2.5.1 I could backup the dual-boot desktop computer without any problems, as it happened in previous backups. I suspect that Resccuezilla does not wait for the unmount operation to complete prior to mount the next partition to backup.
Old computers like the one that was the reason for this post should run Rescuezilla based on ubuntu 22.04 and not the latest release.
Do you see this issue on Rescuezilla v2.6 when using its Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) variant?
Rescuezilla v2.5.1's default release URL on the website and GitHub was Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) variant
Do you see this issue on Rescuezilla v2.6 when using its Focal variant?
I also had this problem with Rescuezilla 2.6. (Disk with Windows11, Data, Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04) It could unmount a partition, sometimes #3, sometimes #5, so that the backup crashed. After a lot of failures, I finally tried Rescuezilla 2.5.1, and it worked perfectly.
