Create backup image of running Ubuntu?

[tbsoft2001]

What is your drive's UUID by doing

$blkid

and what does your /etc/fstab file actually say? Maybe just post the entire thing or do a pastebin if you want.

Also have you tried/considered something like http://www.system-rescue-cd.org . . .

Here's what I did to correct the boot issue.

1. Boot from Live CD
2. Install ZFS
3. Issue "zfs import /zpool1" (zpool1 is the root pool name)
4. Issue "zfs rollback" from most recent snapshot.
5. Reboot system normally.

System came up fine.
Don't know what HDclone did to my root file system but it must have done something. Very annoying. wasted the entire day on this *bull********.
