Windows Backup/Restore works

[Bernd Broermann]

Hallo ,
I can now backup/restore Windows machines.


Thanks to Thomas Lange.


Here a description:
I.
/etc/fai/fai.conf
NFSROOT_PACKAGES="expect libbz2-1.0 partimage"

I used partimage  0.6.1-13 which ist in stable Debian.
6.4 , which is in KNOPPIX 3.3 can backup ntfs ( experimental )  too.

II. A script for moving CLASS Names
#!/bin/sh
# Bernd Broermann
# 8.5.2004
# ~/faiclassmove DEFAULT DEBIAN | sh

for I in $(find /usr/local/share/fai  -name *$1*)
do
NEW=`echo $I | sed s/$1/$2/`
echo "mv " $I $NEW
done

switch of standard Routines,which access the harddisk with    NO_DISK_TASK.

III. Hook scripts
faiserver:/usr/local/share/fai# find . -name *NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/mirror.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/confdir.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/chboot.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/mountdisks.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/extrbase.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/finish.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/instsoft.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/partition.NO_DISK_TASK
./hooks/updatebase.NO_DISK_TASK

the scripts look like
# !/bin/bash
SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`
skiptask=`echo $SCRIPTNAME | sed "s/\..*$//"`
skiptask $skiptask

IV. classes WINDOWS_BACKUP and WINDOWS_RESTORE

Two classes WINDOWS_BACKUP and WINDOWS_RESTORE are defined
./class/WINDOWS_BACKUP
./class/WINDOWS_RESTORE
./class/WINDOWS_BACKUP.var
FAI_ACTION="install"
partimage_nfsdir="nfsserver:/scratch"

./class/WINDOWS_RESTORE.var
FAI_ACTION="install"
partimage_nfsdir="nfsserver:/scratch"

./scripts/WINDOWS_BACKUP/S9partimage
#!/bin/sh
# Bernd Broermann
# 7.5.2004
#
# $partimage_nfsdir set in class/WINDOWS_BACKUP.var
mount $partimage_nfsdir /mnt
dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/windows-${HOSTNAME}_${IPADDR}.mbr  count=1 bs=512
partimage --batch -f3 -V 10000000 -z1 -o -d save /dev/hda1 
/mnt/windows-${HOSTNAME}_${IPADDR}.tgz > /dev/tty1


./scripts/WINDOWS_RESTORE/S9partimage
#!/bin/sh
# Bernd Broermann
# 7.5.2004
#
# $partimage_nfsdir set in class/WINDOWS_BACKUP.var
mount $partimage_nfsdir /mnt
[ -r /mnt/windows-${HOSTNAME}_${IPADDR}.tgz.000 ] ||  exit 1
echo "Restore MBR from ${HOSTNAME}"
partimage --batch -f3 restmbr /mnt/windows-${HOSTNAME}_${IPADDR}.tgz.000 
 > /dev/tty1
# or dd if=/mnt/windows-${HOSTNAME}_${IPADDR}.mbr of=/dev/hda
#
partimage --batch -f3 restore /dev/hda1 
/mnt/windows-${HOSTNAME}_${IPADDR}.tgz.000 > /dev/tty1

V. The class for the windowsclient contains
NO_DISK_TASK
WINDOWS_BACKUP

Like this it works.
One can make some better scripts , because my are looking ugly.
