how to install systemback

[arky217]

I am using MX 23.5 ahs with SysVinit.

I would like to install systemback but it's not listed
in either synaptic package manager or in MX package installer.

Is there a way to install systemback ?

You can find it here, but you already have some cool tools like USB-maker and stuff. That said, I use systemback in place of Timeshift because I find it simpler.

Vorta is a good system backup utility too. You have to fine-tune the options but once done, it's a one-click operation to run it manually or you can set up a scheduled backup and forget about it...

Ok, I installed Systemback2 on MX; I also installed Systemback2 on Sparky OS.

Systemback2 works fine on Sparky, however, on MX, it will create a live system ok,
but when I try to write the live system to a USB, it errors out saying there were errors
when trying to open some of the live system files.

I also tried the same thing with MX booting up with systemd.
(just to see if that made any difference; same error)

It just makes an iso of your existing system, and you (but MX-Linux already has an app for that), can write it to a useb using the MX tool for that! I just use systemback to replace Timeshift is all. But on MX-Linux and antiX, the magic MX-tools already do what you're trying to do.

There is a repository with slightly older amd64 packages, but since they don't include source, use at your own risk: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/instal ... linux-mint
