ZorOS live CD menu shows an entry named "Automate": this open a procedure that search across network the script "automate.sh". Inside this file we can put anything as code, but the script is designed primarily to automate the backup and restore of operating systems. Here some examples:
automate-make-image.sh - make image of partition
#!/bin/sh #----------------------------------------------------------------------- echoc "Automate: automatic administration of the system" blue #----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Note: # 1) in local network must be present a Server with DHCP service and a shared folder # named "SHARE" (Win or Samba with read/write access) # 2) in this example we assume to make image of a WinXP installation on NTFS filesystem # from first partition of first IDE disk echoc "Saving image of WinXP partition" yellow sleep 2 partimage -g 0 -z1 -o -c -d save /dev/sda1 /net/pc01-XP-img
automate-restore.sh - restore image of partition
#!/bin/sh #----------------------------------------------------------------------- echoc "Automate: automatic administration of the system" blue #----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Note: # 1) in local network must be present a Server with DHCP service and a shared folder # named "SHARE" (Win or Samba with read access) # 2) in this example we assume to restore a WinXP image in first partition #------------- restore image ---------------------- echoc "Restore image of WinXP" yellow sleep 2 partimage -g 0 -b restore /dev/sda1 /net/pc01-XP-img
automate-multiple-restore.sh - restore MBR and track 0, restore 2 images in 2 different partitions
#!/bin/sh #----------------------------------------------------------------------- echoc "Automate: automatic administration of the system" blue #----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Note: # 1) in local network must be present a Server with DHCP service and a shared folder # named "SHARE" (Win or Samba with read access) # 2) in this example we assume to restore multiple images of a WinXP (first partition) # and W2000 (second partition) #------------- wait user confirm --------------- echoc "WARNING: this procedure restore partitions 1 and 2" red echoc "all data in partitions will be lost ..." red echo -n "type 'okay' to proceed : " read KEY_ if [ "a$KEY_" != "aokay" ] ; then echo "break by user ..." exit fi #------------- restore track 0 (partitions and boot manager) echoc "Restore track 0" green dd if=/net/track0-pcsample.bin of=/dev/sda echoc "Re-syncing partition table in kernel" green sfdisk -R /dev/sda sleep 2 #------------- restore XP ---------------------- echoc "Restore XP" yellow partimage -g 0 -b restore /dev/sda1 /net/XP-pcsample.000 sleep 2 #------------- restore W2000 ---------------------- echoc "Restore W2000" yellow partimage -g 0 -b restore /dev/sda2 /net/W2000-pcsample.000
Note: we assumes a previous backup of track 0 in a file
dd if=/dev/sda of=/net/track0-pcsample.bin count=63
