Nah, i need real backups. Users, symliks, installed aoftware and all.

I'll hooefully manage that during the lifetime of the new disk.

@phnt
Too bad the target disk is smaller.

@yonle
If i knew enough to be spesific i wouldnt be asking for help

@peteriskrisjanis
Yeah it can be found. Reading works most of the time - until a bad sector is hit or something.

@fd93
Booting from the source disk isnt an issue anyways. Ive got another computer with one of those usb sata cradles.

I'll give clonezilla a try.

@yonle
Bootable and mostly readable.

Important stuff are the configs and im not sure which files those are.

What is the best way to save my linux (open media vault / debian) install from failing disk?

I have tried dd, but it fails with io error midway trough. Also the target disk is like 30gb smaller than source, cuz im a dingus.

Ive tried some custom OMV regen script but my inatall seems to be too cursed.

What tool should i use?

Yes i should have done this when the io issues first popped up. Yes, i should have backups

Boosts welcome
