Bubakup is a software tool that enables users to create a bootable backup image of their running system on Ubuntu. It simplifies backup operations and helps users recover their system using the created image.
The bootable disk images created by Bubakup are useful as an emergency recovery and restoration tool in case your primary system becomes unbootable. It can also be used as a sandbox environment for testing unstable and bleeding-edge code. So, using this software for testing purposes will not harm your primary system. Additionally, it can be used as a full system and data backup/restoration utility.
With Bubakup, the software creates a loopmounted disk image, and the contents of the currently running root partition are copied into it, excluding directories chosen by the user. The loopmounted disk image is then patched and modified with loopmounting patches to allow it to boot. A menu entry is then added to grub for the booting of the loopmounted disk image. After the process is complete, the user can reboot into the bootable backup disk image and restore it to a partition using LVPM, archive the disk image, or delete the bootable backup disk image if it is no longer required.
In conclusion, Bubakup is an incredible backup and restoration utility tool that anyone can use. It provides a safe environment for users to test unstable versions of software without negatively impacting their primary system. Furthermore, it's a great investment for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient backup and restoration solution.
