Issue: USB Copy - No resume file, Grub boot-Ok, file system not booting Ubuntu 20.04

Version: Systemback 1.94
Version OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Architecture: x64
Processor: Intel
memory: 3GB
Partition size: Source: 11GB Target: 11GB

SB copies Debian Buster from same computer sda8 partition to USB stick and it boots - no problems.

SB copies Ubuntu 20.04 same computer sda10 partition to USB Stick and it fails to load past splash screen.

Systemback Ubuntu 20.04 Version 1.9.4

Working Properly:
1. Filesystem copy = correct.
2. Grub Install and upate to USB Stick = correct.
3. Gub /boot/grub/grub.cfg configuration = correct.

Issues discovered so far:
1. No resume file in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d
2. No swap file on USB Key
3. No boot past Ubuntu boot Spalsh Screen.


Note: I am only have Mid Level Linux experience and just learning Linux boot process.
Thank You so very much will all my heart to you for putting life back in to SystemBack !!!!!

    Update:

    I discovered that Ubuntu does not place the root uuid in the /etc/intiramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file so that part is not an error.

    I was able to manually create a USB Grub Stick and dd the same partition to the USB Stick. set proper uuid for root partition in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg and Ubuntu 20;04 booted on USB stick properly.

    Will dd whole 16GB USB stick with /dev/zero and try SB copy again. Will update results here.

    PLEASE MARKED SOLVED !

    (Update: I modified /etc/default/grub file = #GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden)

    Grub menu now appearing.

    When I create a Debian (Sparkylinux) Buster USB Stick using Systemback the Grub Menu does show up within a few seconds. The Ubuntu USB Stick, Grub menu does not appear.

    So, Systemback is working prefectly on USB Stick Creation for Ubuntu 20.04

    Sorry for any confusion and Thanks Again for bringing Systemback "Back to Life" !
